Simpler Navigation
The new main window lets you switch between different screens (people, sources, places, tasks, media, etc.) without losing your place. The new "Couple View" and expandable "Descendants View" give you new insights into your families.
Easier Editing
You may now have more than one person's edit screen open at a time. You can also use other software features while the edit screen is open. All of a person's information is now accessible from their edit screen. You can even view switch to the edit screen of any family member and then instantly switch back.
Searching at Your Fingertips
Lists of data now have their own search box, allowing you to quickly find matching items. Advanced searching tools have all been grouped together into one easy screen.
Save to Modern Formats

New Wallcharts & Fancharts
Wallcharts have been rebuilt from the ground-up, giving beautiful new features and coloring as well as one of most-requested features- fancharts.
Reusable Source Citations
Reusable citations let you create a citation once and then attach it to multiple people or events.
Streamlined Tasks
To-do items, correspondence lists, and research logs have been brought together into streamlined "tasks". Tasks are easily attached to people, sources, media, and more while being quickly searched and filtered.
Better Places & Mapping
The Place List is now reversible and can directly show you all the events where the place is used. People and events can be quickly edited from the Place List. The Map View shows you the location of each place and any desired group of people.

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

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).
