* Not all 3rd-party formats are currently supported on macOS.

Stay in Sync with Online Trees

You get the best of both worlds- the power, privacy, and freedom of a personal tree on your own computer; and the communication, collaboration, and resources of online trees. RootsMagic lets you share tree data back and forth with Ancestry and FamilySearch.

Multiple Files

Create as many tree files as you like. Keep your own backups of your work on your own computer or on cloud backup services.

Drag-and-Drop

Add and Edit People

View and edit every piece of information about a person from a single edit screen. Add as many facts, notes, sources and media to each person and family. Share an event among multiple people and define each person's role in the event.

Find Anything

Search boxes help you quickly matching items in lists. Need more power? Use the Search Screen to search for a name or phrase anywhere in the file or online. Quickly search by surname or given names, genetic lines, or perform sophisticated searches easily. Even find women by their married names.

Grow Your Family Tree

RootsMagic keeps your work organized while it helps you find new records, document sources of information, and track your tasks and work.

Document Your Work

Record the evidence to back-up your work. Fill-in-the-blanks and the SourceWizard write and manages citations for you. You can even create your own source types.

From "To-do" to "Ta-da"

Keep your work on track with RootsMagic's task management. Set goals, choose tasks, log your research, and track what you've found (or haven't found).
