Add photos, videos and sound recordings to your data directly from a Webcam like iSight. MacFamilyTree works with any QuickTime compatible Webcam and DV-camera.

Audio can be recorded with any connected or internal microphones.

What's the most beautiful Heritage Chart worth, if you can't show it to somebody? MacFamilyTree 4 brings you the option to burn your complete tree to a CD, with all information and photos included . This offers you the possibility to easily backup your data, but of course also to create presents for your relatives.

Finally, you can export the entire tree as a HTML file, to be published on the Internet. You can configure how it should appear on the Internet and include the appropriate photos. MacFamilyTree automatically creates small thumbnails of your photos, to optimize the browsing on the Internet. If you have a .mac account, your tree can even be uploaded automatically from MacFamilyTree 4 to your iDisk.

Using MacFamilyTree

The use consists of four fundamental parts: Editing, Browsing, Reports and Publishing.

In Editing you create new persons and families, add children to the families and define the relationship of the parents. In three configurable lists with additional information, located below the names, further data can be entered. With the icons next to the person, people are created or removed from the Family card, the Information window is opened, or you may go directly to the parents of the person.



Photos, video and sound recordings

The Drawer, containing the list of all persons in the current tree, lets you add or remove persons. In addition to this, the Information window which contains the general information about events and photos of the selected person, can be opened. At the very bottom of the Drawer you will of course see the usual Mac OS X search field, which makes it easy to find the persons you look for.

From here you can place persons in the Family card by the use of Drag-and-Drop, such as husband, wife or child. Creating relations between people of the same sex is also possible.


Photos, video and sound recordings

Add photos, videos and sound recordings to your data directly from a Webcam like iSight or Fire-i.
MacFamilyTree works with any QuickTime compatible Webcam and DV-camera. You can also attach photos from iPhoto or from your hard disk, to a person on an event.
Video and audio files can also be integrated from existing recordings. Audio can be recorded with any connected or internal microphones.

View options of your ancenstors

In Browse you'll find multiple and extensive options to view your entered data. The Family Chart, the Heritage Chart, the Descendant Chart, and the Genogram - each of them highly configurable - can be viewed including photos, offering a graphical view of your ancestors, by using the possibilities of Mac OS X to their full extent. Infinitely variable resizing and rotation of the view will show you what possibiliies lies in your Mac. A timeline gives you a good overall view, and the age statistics shows you how old the persons in your family tree are and calculates the average. The list of persons shows you all the persons in your tree, well sorted, and the resume shows all data in the current Family card. You can edit the resume when viewing it, by choosing that option. All the views can of course be printed, with additional options at your disposal to optimize the print.
