RootsMagic Announces Version 5 and Eighth Annual Special Holiday Offer!
Are you looking for an easy to use genealogy software program or for a gift for Christmas? I’ve got just the answer for you!
Just in time for the holidays, RootsMagic has just released Version 5 of their “award winning software which makes researching, organizing, and sharing your family history easy and enjoyable,” and reviewed in 2009 by Family Tree Magazine as “Probably the best all-around genealogy program.”
I love RootsMagic. I’ve found the software easy to use, really easy, and I am NOT tech savvy. As a genealogist, I’m very picky about writing and citing my sources and I’m happy with the ability in RootsMagic to create my own sources or use the installed template. RootsMagic also has a feature, “RootsMagic To Go” that gives you the portability of running the program and your data on your flash drive.
RootsMagic 5 Features:
- Timeline view for person and their family members
- Research manager to create and track research projects
- Filter for people view
- Enhanced multimedia
- Enhanced sources
- Enhanced to-do lists
You can get the full list of features here.

Great software. The only pity is that they don’t have a smartphone app. I’d love to be able to have to carry nothing more than my phone when I’m out in the field.
Thanks Dave. I’m sure they’re listening to all our suggestions. Hopefully, they’ll get busy on it.
