Mac OS X Genealogy Applications

Family Ties (Familienbande) Feb 19, 2006

by

A new version of Family Ties/Familienbande is now available – this marks the February 19, 2006, release. 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. This release consists of mostly bug fixes.

ohmiGene 0.91.2

by

ohmiGene 0.91.2 is available. ohmiGene is “software for the creation and the management of genealogical data … which works on MacOS X and Windows, even Linux. A database created on Mac works on PC (Windows or Linux), and vice versa. The structure of the database was defined to be in maximal agreement with the GEDCOM format: if any context concerning the submission of a file to the church LDS is absent, almost totality of the other contexts are correctly handled (import, manipulation and export…) : OhmiGene is a software which respects a GEDCOM file at import (and export).”

ohmiGene beta 0.90 fc2

by

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.
