With RootsMagic™ To-Go you can take your database and RootsMagic™ with you wherever you go.

Running RootsMagic™ direct from your memory stick allows you to use RootsMagic™ in places where you may not have been able to before, such as library's and other computers.

The RootsMagic™ edit screen lets you add an unlimited number of facts for every person (i.e. birth, death, marriage, occupation, religion, description, etc). If you want to add a fact type that isn't in RootsMagic™'s predefined list, you can simply create your own fact types. RootsMagic™ also allows notes and unlimited source citations for every fact.

The RootsMagic™ Explorer is the heart of RootsMagic™'s search system. The Explorer makes it easy to find and edit anyone in your file. Quickly search by surname or given names, or perform sophisticated searches easily. Even find women by their married names. Also you can easily edit any person in the search list with the click of a single button.

RootsMagic™ provides a powerful source list which lets you add, edit, delete, and print the sources of your information. Simply add the source once, then when you add a fact to a person and want to document where that information came from, you simply point to the source in the source list.

And best of all, the RootsMagic™ SourceWizard will help you write properly formatted sources regardless of your expertise. Quickly and easily create sources as defined by Evidence!, Evidence Explained, or Cite Your Sources. You can even create your own source types.

RootsMagic™ offers a large selection of printouts, all available from a single report dialog. Pedigree charts, family group sheets, wall charts, 7 styles of narrative reports (where RootsMagic™ writes the sentences for you), numerous lists, mailing labels, calendars, relationship charts, individual summaries, and photo trees. And if that isn't enough, RootsMagic™ even provides a custom report generator, so you can create your own specialized lists.

Since we can't possibly show you all the printouts, you can, however, download a free trial copy of RootsMagic™ to try them for yourself.

Publishing your family history has never been easier. The RootsMagic™ Publisher lets you combine multiple reports and charts into a single document, and will automatically create a table of contents and full index for the book. You can include photos, notes, sources and other text in your book. You can even add cover and title pages, copyright page, dedication, and more.

Send your book directly to your printer, or save it to a PDF file to burn on to a CD or email to family members.

RootsMagic™ lets you create beautiful full colour ancestor, descendant, and hourglass wall charts. You have full control over the positioning, size, colours, fonts, and other aspects of every object in the chart. With simple mouse control you can resize an individual’s box, or drag it to another location on the canvas without breaking the family links. You can change colours of individual boxes, or change the font or colour of the text in the boxes. You can even customize your chart by adding additional text, pictures, or shapes to the chart, and you can change the background image or colour.

You've worked hard to collect and organize your family history, and now RootsMagic™ makes it easy to share that history with your family and friends. Your Shareable CD™ will feature a custom home page with your own title, photo, description, and contact information, and will include a read-only version of RootsMagic™ to show off your data and multimedia items.

RootsMagic™ provides the most powerful and easy-to-use merge capabilities available. RootsMagic™ will automatically look for duplicate individuals and display them in a list with the most likely matches listed first. Simply click a button to merge the duplicate pair, or mark them as 'not a match' so that they won't show up in any future merge sessions. Plus, RootsMagic™ features SmartMerge technology to let you quickly merge all those 'for certain' duplicates.

RootsMagic™ 5 now lets you view your family on a map. Simply select a family member from the list and RootsMagic™ will display the map (anywhere in the world), with pins where that person's events (birth, marriage, death, burial, etc) occurred.
