RootsMagic genealogy software stores and organizes large volumes of data, such as marriage dates, health information, burial dates, occupations and religious affiliations. The interface is pleasant and easy to use. The research tools are excellent, and the hints are among the best I’ve reviewed, but the chart quality is disappointing. RootsMagic is a Windows program and will not run natively on a Mac. We do however have many Mac users who run RootsMagic using Windows emulators on their Mac. A Windows emulator lets you run Windows and Windows programs on your Mac. Page 4 of 4 - Rootsmagic Mac version 8 - posted in RootsMagic for Mac: × Rooty, youre correct. RM support doesnt really seem too concerned about Mac users and the impending Catalina release. The new FTM is 64-bit compliant and RM really should start to be concerned. RM likely cant issue a new 64-bit crossover version. As you noted, its out of their control.

At over 11 years old now, RootsMagic has stood the test of time, and has proved itself to be one of the major genealogy programs that is available for those using Windows computers. However over the past few years we have seen a definite shift in users changing from Windows computers to Mac.
