MacFamilyTree 7
MacFamilyTree 7 is a genealogy research app for macOS that lets users build, organize and visualize family trees. It supports standard genealogy formats like GEDCOM for sharing and importing data, includes built-in FamilySearch integration for accessing online genealogy databases, and offers visualization tools such as a "Virtual Globe" to track where ancestors lived, married and migrated. The app has a long history dating back to the late 1990s and integrates with its iOS companion app MobileFamilyTree through Handoff and iCloud, allowing users to start research on one device and continue seamlessly on another. It is used by genealogy hobbyists, family historians, and those documenting their family heritage.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results do not indicate whether MacFamilyTree 7 has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon, nor can we confirm whether the developer has released a newer version or native build. To find out whether your copy will continue to work after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), contact the developer (Synium Software) directly or visit their website to check whether a native Apple Silicon build or an updated version of MacFamilyTree is available. If the developer has not yet shipped a native build and does not have plans to do so, you should begin researching alternative genealogy apps that already run natively on Apple Silicon, such as Gramps (free, open-source) or other actively maintained genealogy software. The sooner you reach out to the developer, the more time you have to plan your transition if needed before the September 2028 deadline.
