Product description
Create beautiful family tree charts, including Family Historian’s unique ‘All Relatives’ charts. Diagrams are interactive. Smart trees automatically adjust as you add or modify records, or move boxes and branches. Explore diagrams by expanding and hiding tree branches. Store pictures, videos and other media. Link each face in each picture to your record for that person. Faces taken from pictures are used in the program and in all output (reports, charts, etc.), with no cropping required. The program automatically finds matches for your tree among billions of historical records and family tree profiles on the Internet. Matches are shown as on-screen hints (to view record details, a data provider subscription is normally required). Search for ancestors across the Internet using the integrated Internet Search tool. Use word processing features like bullets, tables, and web links in notes. See family events marked on maps and observe changes over time, using a time-slider. Trace relationships graphically on charts and in reports. Web clipping tools makes it easy to extract text and pictures from web sites, using drag-and-drop. Create professional-looking family tree books with a mix of auto-generated chapters and your own ‘free text’. Creating family tree websites or family tree CDs/DVDs is easy using Family Historian’s powerful wizard. The program includes everything you need for creating and managing high quality source citations. The program includes 43 reports and you can create your own custom reports. Use built-in scripting tools to automate repetitive tasks. Download free plugins (extensions to the program) from the Plugin Store. Program supports multi-language output and language translation. With its innovative and visually-oriented user-interface, Family Historian is not just easy to use – exploring and working with your family tree data has never been more fun. Multi-level undo/redo gives peace of mind and Help is available throughout.

I have purchased this for my daughter’s birthday, so I unable to add a comment.

I purchased this as an upgrade to my older Family Historian 5 which was gradually being disabled. I can now print out even more reports and charts than before. My only disappointment is that the reports still do not show how each generation is related to the Root person.

Its similar to Historian 6. The one thing I haven’t figured is when the hints that are connected to find my past or Ancestry how do you transfer info on to Hisorian 7 page.It was automatic on 6. But cant see how you do it. It’s easy to put the details of the people in. Still complicated product

I have used FH7 for 10 weeks; my original review on purchase 15/02/22.Like: comprehensive features cover most of your needs. Very stable, including engagement with Ancestry & Find My Past.Dislike: no instructions: Help pages very unclear; unintuitive in some ways. You have to download (free) non-manufacturer add ons E.g. to enter Census Data.Other FH7 users give remarkable free service through FH User Group which helps solve problems, creating (essential) free YouTube tutorials, and creating supplementary software.Conclusion: Good for those of us who cannot afford indefinitely £12 per month or so for comprehensive software and records; FH7 gives all you need; but be prepared to devote time to understanding how it works and frustration while you do so.

I’ve used Family Historian for years so I knew this would be a great product for producing reports & charts, I’m not disappointed. This version has resolved minute niggly bits in previous versions which is great news. This is definitely the program I would personally recommend for genealogists regardless of their ability

I was hoping this software would have been the perfect update from my ‘Who do you think you are’ software. Sadly, although it states it’ll run on Vista, it doesn’t. Family Historian website were very quick to respond saying it has been incorrectly advertised as running on Vista & will need Windows 10 which I don’t have. The item has now been returned & refunded without any hassle.

Highly rated genealogy software that deserves its high marks
I bought this genealogy software because reviews said it was the best on the market, and after using it for 3-4 years, I fully agree. It has been easy to use, extremely flexible, and has been regularly upgraded by Calico Pie. It allows me to collect and organize information about my ancestors, attach historical documents, and create useful charts and reports. Unlike online genealogy services, it remains private and is not exposed to changes by other genealogists who might have inaccurate information. I highly recommend it for anyone seriously interested in studying their ancestral roots.

Good for compiling family tree info
I bought this for myself a couple of years ago to use in compiling family tree info. I’m not a heavy duty genealogist, and am only using a portion of the software’s capability, but it’s definitely meeting my needs and is way better than the homespun option I was previously using. Someday I hope to share my work with my children, and realized they’ll need the software to read the files. When I saw stock was getting low I purchased 2 more packages, planning to keep them until I’m ready to share my work. Both new packages arrived already opened (see pic). I’m afraid to return them given the low stock, but also worried about whether they will work when needed. Guess we’ll eventually find out… I’m happy with what I’m using, just concerned about my second order being delivered opened.
