Wow, Biggles50! That is 'involved' but everyone to their own!
Out of (more) curiosity why didn't you like Family Historian? I was tempted over from Family Tree Maker during covid with the promise of better maps but I'd get far more out of it if I had programming skills. I never did sort out the maps hence this post
I bought it because of the reviews.
It does not work for me:-
1 I need software that sync’s with Ancestry.
2 I need software that works on both my Windows PC and on our Mac’s
3 The FH learning curve is way steeper than other Apps
4 I have zero programming skills, nor do I want to learn them
5 It does not have the feature that Roots Magic has of creating a fully working version of the App with all media etc on a USB memory stick.
The last one is a deal breaker on any App that does not have this feature, with the ability to put all my digital records of my Genealogy research onto a Memory Device together with a fully working version of an App based Family Tree means my Cousins can all have the family research to pass on as they see fit.
I simply do not trust that a Genealogy Family Tree App will be maintained compatible long term and by long term I mean 40+ years. Companies can fold and software then becomes unsupported and in a very short space of time an update to Windows or a Mac can cause said software to cease functioning. I have a fifteen year old laptop that has software on it where the company no longer exists and as the software was a download I am stuck, even if I had the software on a CD new Computers do not have optical drives and even it they did the software serial number verification server no longer exists so I could not load the software on my new PC.
This is why I am OCD about how and where my research is stored, I did see on Facebook a member of a Genealogy Group had been researching their family history for 30 years and their Grandson wiped their Laptop and reinstalled everything, they had no backup so everything is gone.
