Developer’s Description

Research your family history and create charts, reports, Web sites and family tree CDs.

Family Historian is a powerful, fully-featured genealogy program, with an easy-to-use visually-oriented user interface. Diagrams, which include Family Historian's unique 'All Relatives' diagram and an 'Everyone' diagram, are tightly integrated and used for browsing, exploring and editing (e.g. click-and-drag to add relatives), as well as for creating superb wall charts. You can have as many pictures (and videos, and other multimedia) for each person as you like, and even link each person to their face in each picture, and then show these faces in diagrams, reports, websites and multimedia CDs, with no cropping required. Powerful wizards make it easy to create websites or family tree CDs, and the program comes with 29 standard reports (with extensive configuration options), but you can also design your own.

Clunky program with Virus
KooimsDecember 7, 2013
Pros
Was able to create several linked files.
Cons
After installation I realized I had also downloaded the GreatArcadeHits virus (really a PUP - potentially unwanted program). I found unexpected video boxes in my browser windows and extra windows popping up when I clicked a link. I'm still cleaning up the mess.
Summary
Don't bother with this, as you'll regret it later.
Best Family Tree Software I've tried (of 6 others)
rffanaticFebruary 23, 2010
Pros
Rock solid, excellent feature set, very easy to use. Allows extensive information and multiple media items linked to each individual. No gimmicks, no requirement for a "subscription" to anything.
Cons
Tree drawing is a bit clunky and cannot be fully overidden for complete manual placement of individual records, but it's possible to work around most placement issues to get a nice result.
Summary
Try it. You'll like it.
