Does this include stand-alone Family Tree software that will run independently on my computer, or does it just sync with Ancestry?

You can use it by itself, but it will only have the data you input. I have mine set to auto sync with Ancestry so that either will update the other. Then if I am somewhere without internet, like a small county courthouse, I can do my research, input it on my laptop, and sync it later.

http://rootsmagic.com/mac/ Do RootsMagic, Personal Historian, Family Atlas, or your other products run on a Mac? Yes - but with help. In fact, we have many happy Mac users of our family tree software. However, all of our software is currently designed to run on Windows operating systems. That's where "the help" comes in. What do you mean by "Help"? All Macs built since 2006 use the same microprocessors as Windows PCs. This means that you can install the Windows operating system on your Mac and run any Windows software. There are also other non-Windows options available.

FTM 2010 is, in my opinion, the best out there and I have been working on genealogy since 2000. Use the help functions, the on-line tutorials and go take a class on this software at you local history or genalogy center. I strongly urge a beginner to go take a basic genealogy class to get you started.

It is really impressive. It is kind of like your checkbook register when you come to the end of the page and carry your balance over. You take the number and the last person and carry it over to the next page. In the first column on the back page you put the same number and name of the family member and just continue from there as if it is all on one side. I had over 300+ direct descendants. When I continued over onto the second page, I only had about half as many to continue since I only had that many traced back that far. I didn't like it so I did another one and when I came to the last column on right on front, I just flipped it over, transferred the number and name and continued directly across in the same line as the front page. I liked that better as then I can continue on as I find additional descendants. It really works well and it does fit all 15 generations. I really like this one. It was well designed. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "No" because it makes you get a registration key and register your computer, unlike some other Corel software I have used. I may try it anyway and post back here with a definite answer.

the Old version has no tie ins with ancestry.com.IOt also ahs a better entry page than the"newer' Versions(which tie in with ancestry.com and is now up to version 2014. The site ancestry.com contains numerous wrong items. They claim you will see a leaf and it brings up information on the highlighted person. I tried the newer version and the "leaf" information had no relation to the person . Example: I could be looking for George Washington (The first president) of Virginia and it gives me a George Washington Married to "Sue Smith" . We all know President Washington was married to Martha. Many consumer watchdog sites say thee same thing.The site ancestry.com amy shoe relevant info but insist you subscribe to actually see the info. Recently they had a free trial and I did try the free access and all people I searched brought no correct information.

No it's Windows only and requires the software from origin.com, runs in a boot camp partition though!

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

In my own experiance, I suffered major data corruption, and many fact fields did not copy at all. I strongly recommend upgrading to Family Tree Maker v16 instead, it works perfectly with my 24,000 records with no issues what-so-ever.

I'm still using Win XP - which the sync software still works with: Can't say as how it would work with anything later.

You don't have to have the disk in your computer to use it. The program does randomly connect to the Internet to check that there are no updates and that it's an originally issued copy of the program. As far as using it on multiple computers you can do that if they're not being used at the same time. I have it installed on 2 computers but never use them at the same time.

i never tried to sync mine, i just access it via windows explorer. I load/remove music and voice recordings this way. see if you can access it like this.

Yes, you buy the kit, follow-directions for spit etc., send it in, wait (for a fairly long time if there is a backlog) and when processing is done all the results will be on the website. You can also upload your raw data file to other sites like GEDMATCH for more ancestry information. After you order the kit, you have access to the forums where you can ask questions, see wait times etc. I think this was your question versus how useful that information was, but I think if you are interested in Genealogy, you might want to consider one of the others...ancestry is best with GEDMATCH (free, uses existing raw data), I think.

Not much of a difference - you can still pretty much do the same things with both (books and all) and can still sync to ancestry.

Yes it does. It is cloud-based, so it takes very little space on your computer and loads very quickly. I'm very pleased with the results.

I'm not sure. We use it as a standalone duplicator. The description says "no computer or software needed" but it also says that it is compatible with anyone involved with disk duplication. Maybe you can find out more information from ProDuplicator - the company who sells this unit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
