I purchased this item for my husband as a gift. He is so happy with how easy it is to use. He has been tracing his family's background for awhile and really had no way to organize, compare facts, and arrange dates until he starting using this program. I did a review of other products and decided on RootsMagic4 because of other feedback and the ease of using this program. My husband loves this program and feels like all the paper, notes and newspaper articles he has been working on are now organized and located at his fingertips with this wonderful program. He always remarks to me what a super job I did in finding such a great genealogy software. I love the fact his office and work area are now neat and organized. :)

I purchased RootsMagic, ver. 4 in August of 2009. I had used another genealogy program for 20+ years, and while I was very happy with its ease of use and capabilities this program could not present citations in the style recommended by Elizabeth Shown Mills in "Evidence Explained."
I read many reviews and tried several free demos of other genealogy programs. I was very impressed with the citation routines in RootsMagic 4. I spent several months converting a small project I was working on from my old program. It was not until I was well into this work that I noticed a serious flaw with RootsMagic ver. 4.0.7.1. [...]. What is uploaded are the citation format field names used to create the database, not the actual citation.
Sharing my work with others is important to me. Work without citations does not allow the reader to properly evaluate the quality of the data. I contacted RootsMagic's help line 7 weeks ago. After exchanging files to help locate the source of this problem and being told Tech Support would look into this I have heard nothing. I inquired again at 4 weeks, but was told nothing.
If you intend to only share your work by paper copies this is an excellent program. I would seriously consider another program if you intend to share GEDCOM's with non-RootsMagic 4.0.7.1 users.

This is my first family tree software and it was easy to figure out right from the start. I was getting way too many people and family names to keep organized on a regular spreadsheet. I was literally getting lost in generations. With Rootsmark it is easy to keep individuals and families in order. I now have nearly 900 people and 450 family names listed. It is easy to navigate back and forth between any of them. It is simple to add photos and documents to individuals. There is lots of help on the software and at the Rootsmark website. Check out their tutorial video online for a good basic idea how the familytree software works. The only problem I have is transfering data from one computer to another. I get it done, but I think there is an easier way.
