Family Ties (Familienbande) Jan 28, Feb 2 Updates

New versions of Family Ties/Familienbande have been released – January 28, 2006, and February 2, 2006. It’s a free Mac OS X (and possibly MacOS 8.6/9 with Carbon) genealogy application from Stefan Mettenbrink. It’s currently only available in German, however it is useable by non-German speaking genealogists. We’ve provided a page with a list of translated features here.

ohmiGene beta 0.90 fc2

ohmiGene beta 0.90 fc2 (FC = Final Candidate/Release Candidate) is now available. ohmiGene is a Mac OS X genealogy application. Considering that this is a Final Candidate/Release Candidate, I don’t think anything new has been added – I believe it’s being tweaked and last minute bugs are being fixed.

You can read more abou these FC releases from this MacGenealogy.org article a few days ago.

FTLC stands for “finite time lines and circles”, and FTLCtimelines X is a Mac OS X-only program that allows you to generate and work with timelines. There is an older version available for Classic/MacOS 8/9 users. This version does have iCal integration.

Version 0.9.5.6.04 – Changes
* Note: this version adds a preference file to the user’s Home Library > Preferences folder.
* Note: these lastest versions have undergone minimal testing due to lack of time on my part.
* New: Open recent file menu item (saved as preference file in home preferences [a binary file, not a .plist]). Optional number of files to remember, option to add merged files or not clear menu item option (menu item: File > Records….)

Changed:
1) Event & Span Record windows Name text edit field made wider for longer names.
2) Help menu items moved to FTLCwindows menu to save menubar space.
