The sync capabilities of Heredis 2014 are excellent, easily permitting the user to sync over a home network between multiple computers, only adding or changing the new information. 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 2014 (39.99) is downloadable genealogy software that offers most of the features you need to build accurate family trees and organize your research.

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. They will cease sale of it 31 December 2015. For whatever reason, every “Mary” I enter pops up as male. Ancestry recently announced that it would retire its Family Tree Maker genealogy software. 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.
