Families 1.1.0

Families, from TelGen Limited, has received a significant update to version 1.1.0 (version 1.0.2).

Families is an iPhone OS/iOS application that is unique in the iOS world – it’s the only (as far as I know) application that allows you to work directly with any Microsoft Windows genealogy software. Families works with Legacy Family Tree software, and allows you to synchronize your data with Legacy, take your Legacy genealogy data with you on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, and to synchronize the data back to your Legacy install once you’ve been out and about and have added or edited the information.

Version 1.1.0 adds a descendant view, as well as support for privacy fields. There are also some fixes, and an interface improvement.

Changes/Updates:
* Added Descendant View
* Added support for display and editing of Privacy fields
* Fixed problem adding second husband
* Fixed problem searching for names with accents
* Sort index ignoring accents
* Increased tap target area for selecting alternative spouses and parents in Family View

Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 3.1 or later (3.2 with the iPad)

You can check out and download Families – TelGen Limited through Apple’s App Store (iTunes) for $14.99

MacFamilyTree 6.0.5 Fixes MobileFamilyTree Sync Issues

If you are using MobileFamilyTree (Apple App Store), you are obviously using MacFamilyTree 5.7 or MacFamilyTree 6, which are Mac OS X genealogy programs from Synium Software.

MobileFamilyTree synchronizes its genealogy data with MacFamilyTree – without MacFamilyTree, MobileFamilyTree is useless.

Synium has released a new version of MacFamilyTree, MacFamilyTree 6.0.5 (MacGenealogy.org), that contains fixes for MobileFamilyTree synchronization issues and it is highly recommended if you are using the version 6.0 line of MacFamilyTree.

You can auto-update or download the latest version of MacFamilyTree at Synium Software.

MobileFamilyTree 2.5.2

Synium Software, the developer behind MacFamilyTree, has released a new version of MobileFamilyTree. MobileFamilyTree is a “companion” application to MacFamilyTree, and it allows you to take your MacFamilyTree genealogy information with you, add to it, view it, edit it, etc., and then synchronize it back up with your desktop or laptop installation of MacFamilyTree.

Back in June, Synium Software added Multitasking and iOS4 support with MobileFamilyTree 2.5.1, and with MobileFamilyTree 2.5.2, they are fixing some bugs with MFT running under iOS 4 as well as improving the search and speeding up the load time.

Changes/Updates:
* Several Bugfixes for iOS 4
* Search improved
* Faster load time

Note: It requires a full version of MacFamilyTree 5 or MacFamilyTree 6 (MacGenealogy.org) for Mac OS X.
