PC Support
My Roots comes with a free conversion utility for importing
data from a GED file and exporting data to a GED file.
Easy Navigation
When looking at a person's detailed information, you can switch to the person's father, mother,
or children in one tap. You can switch to a sibling in two taps, and it
requires only one tap to edit an event or fact.
Family Group Sheet
The family group sheet screen displays all relevant family
information in one place, including family events, children, and multiple
spouses. You can move up or down the family tree in a single tap.
Ancestor and Descendant Charts
My Roots can display a 4-generation ancestor or descendant
chart for any individual. The chart can be re-displayed for any other person in
a single tap. You can also switch between ancestor and descendant charts in one
tap.
Relationship Calculator
My Roots provides a graphical relationship calculator for finding relationships between blood-relatives. In addition to a textual description of the relationship (e.g., "1st Cousins twice removed"), it also shows you the people through which they are related.
Filtering
You can display a subset of your data by creating up to
three simultaneous filters. For example, you could set one
filter to be "surname is Jones", another to be "birth year
before 1900", and a third to be "birth location contains Ohio".
Only people that meet all three criteria will be displayed until you cancel
the filters.
Find Function
Using the built-in Find function, you can quickly locate an
individual even in a very large database.
Multiple
Databases
My Roots allows you to create multiple databases. This lets
you divide up your data in whatever way makes sense for you.
Soundex
When editing a person's name, the corresponding Soundex
code is automatically displayed.
