Family Historian 6 Adds Internet Data Matching and Much More...

London, United Kingdom, December 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- “Version 6 is a big step forward for Family Historian, both in terms of features and usability,” says Simon Orde, managing director of Calico Pie. “We’ve teamed up with MyHeritage to add automatic internet data matching. This means that as you use the program, Family Historian automatically finds matching records on MyHeritage databases – from more than 6 billion records. We’ve also added a Web Search workspace window, and a new web clipping capability, to make it easy to transfer all the information you find into your project, with full source citations. We’ve added best-of-breed mapping in another new workspace window, the Map Window, so that users can easily see events marked on maps, and use the Time Slider to observe changes over time. The Media Window has been completely redesigned and now includes a new Media Link tool, to make linking people to faces in pictures much quicker and easier than before. There’s a new Automatic Source Citation pane, to help with adding source citations. And there’s much more. The program has been given a complete refresh, with a great new look and numerous usability improvements. It’s a long list of important enhancements and great new features.”
