Wish it was easier to use

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

It works but not as easy to navigate as Generations. 15 years of work had to be converted to another format, very expensive, so I didn't have to redo all the work by hand. Was recommended by the makers of Generations.

Misled

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was led to believe that this product was compatible with Windows 8 and even Windows 8.1, which I have. I was happy to purchase this product because the software that I have no longer is being produced. When I received this software, it states clearly that it is for Windows 7, Vista and XP. I am truly disappointed and upset that I was misled by this seller. It does say that the software is 100% compatible with GEDCOM 5.5. We shall see when I attempt to transfer mountains of data from my old program to this new one.

The product was shipped in a timely manner and I have not had the opportunity to make an informed decision as there are still some issue with understanding the software.

Very Happy with Family Historian 5

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

Purchased this software to replace an old genealogy program that I bought about 10 years ago and as expected this version is considerably better. It has been very easy to use right out of the box and like most software, the more you use it the quicker you learn where things are and which tools and options are most useful. Prior to purchasing this product I did some research on line to see which of the genealogy programs currently available customers preferred. Family Historian 5 had received very good reviews and I thought the price was resonable. I am happy with this product.

I unpacked this program and started right away at making my Family Tree. It was sent to me in a package secure enough not to damage and the shipment came on time. I looked at a few different programs and picked this one and am I glad I did. It has helped me to input all of my family information in an easy format and allows me to enter photos of each family member. This is done by putting the face next to the name and detailed information. It looks very professional and is easy.

Family Historian is a plus

This product is all they say it is. I love that it's native format is .ged. This saves trying to sort out all of the things some of the other products fail to import or export. I hate their insufficiencies that show up as errors. If you plan to tackle your geneology, start with Family Historian!

Barely worth the money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a 45MB program selling at £1/MB. It's robbery! The software is pretty good and is very versatile and useful, but if you can find somewhere else to get it from then do so. Thankfully it's not one of these products with limited installs - I have it installed on my pc, laptop, and windows tablet with no problems.

Comparing with RootsMagic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'm not finding this quite as easy to use as others say. However, unlike RootsMagic which I have used for many years now and of which I had just downloaded the latest version, it does provide copious information in the form of an online help book and a small 'Getting started' booklet. I suspect it is much more user-friendly if these are read, but I haven't managed to get very far as yet as my attention easily wanders.
Transferring my RM gedcom went very smoothly and nothing seems to have been lost in the process. I can't comment on whether or not links would have transferred as I was moving everything to a new computer at the time so all links were broken with RM too.
The appearance of FH is far better than RM and can be personalised to a degree. I also like the tree options which include a set of concentric circles radiating from the root person with colour coding for maternal and paternal lines. All relatives can be set to show their relationship to the root person which makes the family feel more personal and less disjointed than with RM. I suppose the highest praise I could give is that I look forward to working on my tree now whilst I was finding it a chore with RM, and I don't think this new enthusiasm is purely about the novelty of using different software.
Overall I wish I had bought FAmily Historian originally rather than spending my money on RootsMagic. I would recommend it.

Great Software for Family Trees

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

Was looking for a piece of software that would enable me to build my family tree.
Family Historian is easy to use with clear instructions and provides excellent value with money.
Compared to many on the market (I did quite a bit of research before purchasing) this software is
truly streets ahead. Has the facility to store and link photos/media and produce diagrams etc.
Very good indeed.

I choose F/H 5 because I already had F/H4. Both are very good programmes, highly recommended especially for beginners of family history.

Ecxellent - but read the small print carefully....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought Family Historian 3 and its first upgrade, but lost the program when I changed computers as it the code would not read once again. Recently decided to try again, but version 5 to upgrade from a program so far back. However version 5 is excellent,but - although progressing well - by accident I managed to delete half of my entries - so TAKE CARE!- instead of merely an inaccurate entry. Very good indeed but the information guide poor - although I would recommend you to buy the booklet as well - is so tiny you feel I could do with more. My version 3+ had such a large book it came on a disk and I had to print it out myself (taking two A4 wide files to hold it all) but it clearly dealt with every possibility you might encounter. I miss that! Also, watch Delete, as just now I deleted most of what I have already entered in error, when deleting one of two identical entries I had made! I believe I was asked - did I wish to delete the name or the entry? -, but when I selected the entry was asked, did I want the whole entry or something, and said Yes, and the bulk of what I have entered for several days has completely vanished! This constituted a great deal of entries including all the large amount of information I had done that morning.... Ah, woe is me.....
