have ever tested." (full

best genealogy program we’ve seen. Had we tested this program a

head-to-head review."

genealogy program with all the features found in most competitive

what you were looking for. All in all, it is a powerful,
easy-to-use program that can greatly aid researchers in family
history."

Maker is high, especially when there are less expensive programs,
such as RootsMagic, that have better source-citation and
record-comparison tools."

program which was already a pleasure to use."
- Family History Monthly
"This Mac lover/addict has finally
purchased a Windows XP personal computer *just* to be able to
use RootsMagic. I don't care that Apple has "beta" ability to
run PC software -- I'll never trust anything Windows on my Mac!
(It's not a question of your software -- I just prefer to keep
my Mac "pure".)"
- C. Mueller in Albuquerque, NM
"I am taking a genealogy
course at our local library and when the leader mentioned that
Family Origins was defunct (2 weeks ago) I told him that
RootsMagic had taken the place of Family Origins. As most
teachers are alike - the leader quietly discredited my comment.
The good news is that last week he came into class and announced
that RootsMagic was the absolute best genealogy program that he
had ever run across and encouraged the entire class to start using
the program."
- June B.
"I ordered my copy of "RootsMagic" Saturday at the
AGCIG (Arizona Genealogist Computer Interest Group) meeting where
Bruce showed us what his new baby can do. It is really
wonderful, and if possible it is more user friendly than his
fantastic Family Origins, which I have been using for the last 10
years."
- Barbara W.
"I have been an avid
fan of Family Origins for many years, and I never thought I'd hear
myself say this, but... I have found one I like BETTER! No
lie, RootsMagic is hands down, so much more sophisticated than
FO. Bruce has taken so many of the things that frustrated me
with FO and improved them (there still are a few things for future
versions, ha ha)."
- Sue M.
