Family.app gets updated to 2.3, fixes iSight/iPhoto features

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jan 14th, 2009


If you have been following Saltatory Software's Family.app, then you know how great it can be for easily creating family trees. Recently updated, this application allows you to easily track your family's genealogy. The new update fixes some bugs that occurred with Leopard, like the iSight/iLife integration. Some of the updates to Family include:
  • You can now export your Family file to PDF, and it will still be crisp if you zoom in.
  • The iSight and iPhoto/iLife integration work again in 10.5.
  • You can now zoom in 120% when in the main editor.
  • Updated Family bubbles to make Family files look better in general, especially in printing.
  • Minor bug fixes regarding text input.
  • There is a fun little fade out when you close windows.
  • Made it so that dragging a new connection is easier than before. Dragging a connection is not as particular about where you click like it was in 2.0.2.
If you want more information about this update, or would like to download Family.app, you can visit the Saltatory Software website. Family is $29.95US for a personal-use license and it requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher.

MobileFamilyTree: Genealogy for iPhone

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on Aug 2nd, 2008

Want to carry your family tree with you?

Synium Software, the developer of a genealogy app called MacFamilyTree, has announced a mobile companion for their Mac product. MobileFamilyTree for iPhone and iPod touch requires MacFamilyTree 5.2.3 to run, and allows genealogists to review, edit, or add to family tree information anywhere at anytime. Once you're back at your Mac, MobileFamilyTree syncs your changes with MacFamilyTree.

This is great for adding genealogical information on the spot from interviews with relatives, doing additional research on the road, or just having a copy of your family history to review wherever you are. MobileFamilyTree is a free update to registered users of MacFamilyTree 5.2.3, or available for $4.99 from the App Store (click here to view the app in iTunes).

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
