What's New in RootsMagic 10

I don't know what is bothering or confusing nitsua803 and aram5642, but as a veteran of many versions of RootsMagic I find this video very informative and quite clear. Much effort and expertise have clearly gone into producing the upgrade. The UI is a bit unusual, but that certainly doesn't devalue the underlying functionality. I am eager to begin using some of the new capabilities. Very nice work, Bruce and team!

Looks good. I hope it can help me sort out duplicates better than what I have now. When you have multiple generations with the same name and they show up as duplicates but you don't have complete information one one, it's hard to determine if it's a duplicate or not. The search with the "&" may help a lot with this.

Agree video is not confusing or bothering or childish. I am happy for it. I will still need to practice some of the new items, but happy and thankful for it!!!!! I have used Rootsmagic for years and see this upgrade with DNA as a beginning chapter for further upgrades in the future. Don't let these two previous negative comments bother you. That's their problem.

How do you determine the shared centimorgans of family members? Everyone in my family hasn't taken a test for me to determine that information. Am I manually entering DNA information based on potential family members that have taken DNA tests? Am I making a guess for family members? Maybe I'm overthinking this or not thinking enough, but how do I accomplish this?

Did they ever change it so that you can collaborate online with others without having to collaborate by using Ancestry? And has the merging system for Trees improved? We have large trees that need to be merged back into one and as of 7 and 8 it was disastrous to attempt to merge, creating duplicates of parents or children. Example one family would end up with as may as eight duplicate sets of parents.

Can you go from RM7 to RM10?

This looks brilliant!! Can't wait to get started. Loving the DNA, the rules, the add event to group, searches,.. all of it.

When is roots magic going to be able to work on Crome book or apple I have tablets

Disappointed with the annual releases. We get to rootsmagic 9.1 in terms of updates and then go to 10 with another paid upgrade.

Where do I find the detailed videos? I must comment that your medical section is most disturbing. I do not want to use it and would like a remove button for this feature. It is very intrusive and could be used by medical companies to ramp up one's costs. I would also not want such details to be seen by other people! I am happy to have my genealogy pages public but not with such medical information contained. It is highly personal and I cannot in all conscience put my forbears medical information because they are dead. Please find a way to have an off switch for this section. My discomfort was increased by the glib manner in which you spoke about this facility. You seem to have no idea of the sensitivity of the subject.

You have gone to much work in changing Roots magic 10. However,, I'm very disappointed in the addition. My research is in the 1700's to 1900's. I have no interest in their DNA, if it were available. Little is known about medical history of families living in Europe. The new program is complicated with a busy screen. The simplicity of a program is what is lacking.

The most confusing demo video ever! I am NEW to this platform. Not a veteran. If I had to purchase the product based on this demo, I would not. I would hope that the developer would be mindful of those of us who are new . Veterans are already sold on the program.

A lot of good programming effort undermined by the sloppy, cheap-looking and childish UI.
