The witness tab for an event is someone who witnessed the event (for example, a census taker or minister who married a couple), not others recorded during the same even (for example, a census). There is no separate source and citation, meaning that each reference to a book (a source) for a specific entry (on a page) is independent from another entry, expanding the number of source / citation. The software lacks any ability to record name variations, including a married name (cultural - in France married women use their maiden name). I rated Heredis 2014 a 3 only because of the cons identified below. Heredis for PC Review by Denise Moss-Fritch, If they could improve that area, I’d give it 5 stars.īiggest Pro: alphabetized list of all names always visibleīiggest Con: lack of actual how-to’s in training manual
#ROOTSMAGIC VS LEGACY VS HEREDIS HOW TO#
All in all, I think it’s a great program, but the manual reads more like an ad for what you CAN do rather than HOW to actually do it. I didn’t catch it quickly enough the first time, so all children added, even after I changed her sex, showed Mary as the father.
For whatever reason, every “Mary” I enter pops up as male. There are a wide variety of facts to choose from, but I’ve had to alter several of them to provide the headings I need. Adding photos is incredibly easy, but any descriptions you add won’t line up in the automatic scrapbook function. Maneuvering through the generations takes a bit of clicking, and I’m having some issues getting out of the data entry window when I add marriages after the fact. I like the changeable backgrounds and the variety of charts and reports. I’ve only been using it for a week, so I’m still learning. Needed something to replace my faulty Family Tree Maker and played with several different programs.
