Official Description: MacFamilyTree offers all you would expect from a modern genealogy application. It has been completely re-developed from scratch by using the programming tools from Apple. With MacFamilyTree you can create in a fast and elegant manner, a general view of all relations and kinship and show it in impressive, graphical views. Extensive print options are also offered, as well as the option to publish your family tree on the Internet or burn it directly to a CD.

Official Notes:
MacFamilyTree is fully based on the Gedcom-standard for international exchange of genealogical data. All features make full use of the modern, graphic capabilities of Mac OS X. Simultaneously editing of several trees is no problem, nor is it to connect or merge several family tree files. Photos from iPhoto can be imported using Drag-and-Drop and the finished family tree, including the photos, is uploaded to your .mac iDisk on the Internet with one click.

Macworld Review – June 2007
Family Tree Magazine – Aug 2005:
Mac users who’ve chafed at the dominance of Windows in genealogy software — which exceeds even the Windows-ization of corporate America — will cheer the release of MacFamilyTree 4.5. It’s the most Mac-like genealogy program yet, not only in execution but in style. Indeed, it may be better-suited to Mac enthusiasts who happen to do genealogy than to genealogists who happen to own a Mac.
