Colorize Photos, Enhance Images

MacFamilyTree can breathe new life into old black and white family photos, portraying them in color for your family’s enjoyment. Bring new gloss to precious family memories, thanks to MacFamilyTree’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based Colorization feature. For the first time, view cherished family photos through the eyes of your ancestors — during a time when color photography was still uncommon. MacFamilyTree is also capable of enhancing the quality of images and legibility of documents – again, thanks to Artificial Intelligence.

Edit Charts & Print Wallpapers

Need to customize charts? MacFamilyTree comes with an integrated chart editor, allowing you to customize every part of a chart: re-position elements, alter fonts, colors, and text or remove parts of a chart that should not be visible, to meet your exact expectations.

Also, you can use the chart editor to easily create large wallpapers on your home printer: Huge charts can be split up into a customizable number of pages in order to print out gigantic wallpapers.

Family Tree Statistics

MacFamilyTree lets you create detailed statistics about your family tree. For example, you'll be able to see the average age at which your ancestors married or passed away. MacFamilyTree will also show you the frequency of last names in your family tree, how long it took after a wedding for the first child to be born, or which is the month when most couples married, and so much more. You can of course print any of the statistics and share them with your relatives on paper.

Virtual Globe

The Virtual Globe is the perfect tool to see how your family has spread across the globe over the course of time. Did some of your ancestors set out for America some 300 years ago? The freely rotatable globe shows where members of your family settled and where your ancestors lived. The Virtual Globe automatically displays events such as births, weddings, emigrations, or funerals. The convenient places function will then swiftly provide you with the coordinates for all of these places, so you can view them in the globe.

DNA Research – Store your Test Results

The latest version of MacFamilyTree now allows users to store DNA test results. It supports all standard products, and results can then be entered and stored in MacFamilyTree. But this is only the beginning of more exciting things to come! For future versions, we plan to combine test results with MacFamilyTree’s impressive graphic illustrations, providing users with even more and completely new insights.

The reinvention of search

You want to search your tree for “John,” whose surname was either “Kramer” or “Cramer,” born either in 1945 or 1955? That sounds like a simple question – yet so far, no software is able to provide an answer to that on the fly. With MacFamilyTree 10.3 and MobileFamilyTree 10.3, we offer you a completely new and innovative approach to finding information in your tree. How does it work? By replacing “searching” with “filtering”!
Either create your own search queries or rely on one of the many pre-configured suggestions, which can be customized as desired, or saved as a new “Smart Filter”. Also very handy: Let’s say you set “all people who have emigrated from Germany or France to the USA” as a search filter, you can directly create a Person Group from the results.

Smart Filters - Intelligent Search and Filters

MacFamilyTree 10 offers the most powerful filters you'll ever see in a genealogy application. With the new Smart Filters, you can now limit the number of records displayed to those that are relevant to your current research activities. They can be applied to persons, families, sources, places or to dos. This way, you can define a filter such as "Display all married men from York that I've downloaded via FamilySearch and for whom media is available".
