Specs

Family Tree Legends is an entry-level product that offers the basics at an attractive price.

You can import your family tree from another application as a GEDCOM file, which is the standard format for genealogical data, or create one from scratch. You start with a single person and add a spouse, parents, children and even family members with an unknown relationship who you can attach later. For each person you can add information in a vast number of categories. You can also assemble a scrapbook for each individual, containing photos, audio and video clips and links to other documents.

The charting facility is basic. You can draw ancestor or descendant charts for anyone in your family tree. The charts can be arranged horizontally or vertically, you can alter the background colour or use an image, change the line style, box colour and so on. You can also edit charts manually by dragging boxes or resizing them. If you want more options, you'll have to export your charts as graphics files and edit them with third-party software.
