New Features of Version 4

The entire program has been given a makeover, and a new, more attractive look.
Family Historian now has an all-new main window, with views for spouses & children, parents & siblings, ancestors and descendants. Adding relatives, and moving around your family tree, is completely intuitive and easy. The program as a whole has been made easier to use than ever.
The main 'Property Box' (for data entry) has been completely reworked so that it too is now easier than ever to use. You can set the text size to suit your eyesight, resize the Property Box or 'dock' it to the side of the window. You can also customize it to suit your requirements.
Family Historian now has project management capability. You can have as many family tree projects as you wish, and Family Historian will automatically look after all your project files for you (including picture files and other multimedia). Each project is assigned its own folder on your hard disk.
Full multi-level undo/redo lets you make changes in confidence, knowing that if you make a mistake you can easily undo it.
Full support for same sex relationships has been added.
Support for multimedia, and especially pictures, has been significantly enhanced. Thumbnail views make browsing pictures easy. You can now not only have as many pictures as you like for Individuals, Families and Sources - you can also link pictures to events (e.g. pictures of weddings or christenings) and attributes (e.g. pictures of a person's residence or occupation). Adding pictures and multimedia is easier than ever, as is browsing all the pictures in your project - thanks to extensive filtering options, including keyword filtering, in the Multimedia Window. And there is an all-new multimedia report.
In addition to the numerous existing file formats, charts and reports can now be saved in PDF format.
Extensive power-user features have been added, giving power-users much greater scope to extend and customize the program than ever before. Ordinary users can also benefit through the ability to download program extensions written by power users, from Family Historian user websites - such as the Family Historian User Group website at www.fhug.org.uk.
There have been numerous enhancements to charts and diagrams.

Customer Reviews/Comments

2 February 2007
- just a quick email to let you know how impressed I am with Family Historian 3.1 - it does everything! Great text reports, fully customisable charts and ready-made webpages - and what's more, it's British!
Gareth W - Hull

I thought it a very nice, intuitive program to use considering it was the first time I'd tried to put a family tree together... (H.H., Tavistock, Devon)

The printing of the manual was a good idea as it is difficult to read such manuals on the screen, and printing them out on home computers is not easy. (D.M., Reading, Berkshire)

Magazine Reviews
