Family Tree Heritage
Family Tree Heritage is a genealogy management application that helps users research ancestors, build family trees, and create publications. It integrates directly with FamilySearch's database and allows direct searching of billions of historical records without requiring a subscription. Users can create charts (pedigree, fan, ahnentafel, and box charts), family books, reports and family group sheets, with features like color-coded generations, photo integration, tags, and research timelines. The software is marketed as a successor for users migrating away from the retired Family Tree Maker.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether Family Tree Heritage has been updated with a native Apple Silicon build. The most recent marketing materials reference version 9 from 2016, and the vendor's website visibility in search results is limited. The Intel-only build will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you rely on Family Tree Heritage, contact the developer (Individual Software) directly to confirm whether a native build exists or is planned before September 2028. If a native version is not forthcoming, you may want to explore actively maintained genealogy alternatives with confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as Gramps (free, open-source), MacFamilyTree (commercially maintained), or continue via FamilySearch's web interface, which runs natively in any modern browser.
