Once back far enough, using the FamilySearch tree / links to import earlier generations until I, hopefully, hit someone on FamilySearch already marked as being in my database o I can connect them up. If I also find them in the match list of other tested people whose kit I manage or access I add addtional sources for each with their match details. With a source of the tester / company the match was found from along with the details of the match in that source, including my notes as to shared matches, my ideas of MRCA etc By comparison, it took me only about five minutes to enter the same data in the most efficient program, Family Historian, but close to 12 minutes in most of the programs I tested.What did you do in RM7, if you used it ?Īny match “of interest” as a person in my DNA database I entered the data for 10 individuals in a total of less than eight minutes. Overall, the data entry process is efficient.

That said, the floating tabs are a bit too subtle, making it a little more difficult to figure out there are floating tabs to work in. The well-crafted interface uses a mostly modeless design. The navigation received a B+ and the data entry received an A– for ease of use.

If there’s an issue with a relationship early in the pedigree chart, such as a same-sex marriage, the subsequent relationships all must be re-established. In fact, the RootsMagic interpreted the fourth file exactly as Ancestral Quest did, getting all the individual information correct but losing the relationships. The fourth record, however, was full of errors. I imported four GEDCOM records to test the program, and it was almost perfectly accurate on three of the records, losing a handful of media files. RootsMagic earned a B on the GEDCOM accuracy test.
