Charts and Diagrams - Instantly create Ancestor, Descendant, Hourglass and Everyone diagrams, as well as Family Historian's unique All Relatives diagrams. Diagrams are tightly integrated and used for browsing, exploring and editing as well as for creating superb wall charts.
Smart Trees - Family Historian's smart trees give you unprecedented control over chart layout: hide, show, move, resize and re-order boxes and branches, and watch as trees automatically adjust themselves to reflect your changes.
Unrivalled Support for Pictures and Multimedia - Add as many pictures as you like for each person. You can add a picture once and link it to each person in the picture. You can even link each person to their own face in the picture, and show just faces in diagrams or reports, without having to 'crop' your pictures. Creating great-looking websites, or family tree CDs, is easy using Family Historian's powerful wizards, which have all the flexibility and options you need.
A Powerful and Sophisticated Query Engine - A 'query' allows you to extract whatever data you want from your family tree file. Family Historian comes with a set of standard queries, but you can easily create your own, to get whatever information you want from your data.
Reports - Family Historian comes with 28 fully-featured and highly configurable reports (in addition to query reports see previous paragraph). Reports include narrative reports, outline reports, summary reports, complete-record reports, Family Group Sheet and more.
100% GEDCOM - GEDCOM is the global standard format for shared genealogical data; but applications vary significantly in how well they support it. Family Historian is, we believe, unique in being 100% GEDCOM compatible, and 100% GEDCOM complete.
A Unique Merge/Compare Facility - Only Family Historian lets you compare any two GEDCOM files side-by-side so that you can see exactly where and how they differ, and how they will end up when merged, before you commit yourself to any of it.
Events & Attributes - With Family Historian you can record full details of any events or attributes, in the lives of the individuals or families in your files. Family Historian comes with a large number of standard events and attributes for you to select from (birth, death, baptism, marriage, divorce, etc), but you can easily create any new ones that you need.
Notes & Documents - You can have as many notes as you like about each individual in your family tree file (in addition to notes relating to specific events or attributes). Often, in practice, when an individual marries, you will wish to make notes that apply both to them and to their spouse.
No Limits - Each user can have an unlimited number of spouses, children, sets of parents, pictures, multimedia, notes, source citations, and so on. You can store multiple, possibly conflicting versions of most items of data, such as names, dates, places, etc.; and you can assess the reliability of each version.
Technical Support - As well as direct email support, Family Historian users have access to free website or email-based forums where you can get advice and tips from expert users, and from the publishers.
