More Apple Genealogy

Apparently, I was not specific enough in my last post about Apple
Genealogy. John Newmark
in his TransylvanianDutch
Genealogy & Family History blog had a lot of comments. All of
his comments, as usual, are very good and to the point. I do agree with
his conclusion about my post that Apple genealogy programs are not as
feature filled as those on the PC. I attribute this to a lack of
competition on the Apple platform. One example will suffice. Many
PC/Windows based programs have direct look-up capabilities with online
databases. Of course, Family
Tree Maker from Ancestry.com is closely tied to the online database.
But many of the other programs also tie into online databases, like RootsMagic 4 and Legacy Family Tree.
Legacy Family Tree has a very extensive research guidance function.
Now, admittedly, this is a function you may not need or ever use, but
the PC programs have many functions that you can get really used to
using all the time.
