iFamily for Tiger for Mac

At a glance

iFamily is a genealogy tool that puts the spotlight on each person in your family chart. Instead of presenting the whole tree at once, it lets you open an individual’s record and examine biographical details, images, or even an external encyclopedia entry from a dedicated details panel.

What you can view for each person

• Biographical notes, photographs and links to external reference pages appear in a detail pane at the bottom of the screen.
• From a single profile you can trace both ancestors and descendants and immediately see how each relative connects to the selected individual.

Building and editing the tree

• Adding new relatives and connecting them into the chart is straightforward, making it fast to expand the family structure.
• There’s an advanced search tool that helps you locate people using criteria such as names, birthdates or age.

Printing and export options

• A one-click print function lets you produce a hard copy of your family information whenever you need it.

Usability and interface notes

• The layout can feel cluttered and a bit chaotic the first few times you use the program, which may be off-putting for users who prefer minimalist designs.
• A font-size control exists but only increases text up to size 16; for some users this proved insufficient.

Final thoughts

If you can tolerate a somewhat crowded interface, iFamily offers a fresh approach to genealogy by centering on each individual record rather than forcing a purely tree-centric view. That emphasis makes exploring relationships and personal details more engaging.
