Family Tree Maker 2017
Family Tree Maker 2017 is genealogy software developed by Mackiev that helps users research, document and organize family histories. It allows users to build family trees, record vital events (births, marriages, deaths), attach photos and documents, and generate reports and charts. The application is aimed at amateur genealogists and family historians who want to preserve and share family records. The 2017 release represents an older version of the product line.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about Family Tree Maker 2017 or whether Mackiev has published a native Apple Silicon build. The 2017 release date suggests this may be an older version. We recommend contacting Mackiev directly or visiting their website to ask whether the current version of Family Tree Maker ships as a native Apple Silicon build, and whether any migration path or upgrade is available from the 2017 release. It is important to clarify this before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028, as any Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. If Mackiev has abandoned this product line or offers no upgrade path, you may want to explore native alternatives like Ancestry (which has a web-based interface and a Mac app), FamilySearch (free, web-based), or MacFamilyTree (a native Mac genealogy app with Apple Silicon support).
