About Families

Families is designed to operate in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree, the leading Windows-based genealogy software from Millennia Corp. Your Legacy family files can be easily transferred to your Android device, enabling them to be viewed and edited wherever you are. Families supports the following functionality:

- Multiple family files
- New family files can be created from scratch
- Family View, Pedigree View, Descendant View and Timeline
- Index, searchable by Given Name, Surname or RIN
- Relationships
- Events
- To Do Lists
- Master and Detail Sources
- Locations and Addresses, with geolocation via Google Maps
- Alternate Names
- Pictures, including the ability to add pictures from camera or photo album
- Documents, audio and video files
- Bookmarks
- Portrait and Landscape mode on all views
- Supports Legacy 6, 7 and 8

Families uses a highly efficient database implementation, allowing very large family files to be supported. Users have successfully displayed and edited files containing over 300,000 individuals.

Families requires a companion program running on the PC to transfer family files to and from the Android device. This program, Families Sync, can be downloaded free of charge from www.telgen.co.uk/families.

A sample family file is included.

I think the new features will be a welcome addition. But I do see a problem with the formatting of dates. There's now a dot after the three letter month abbreviation - (21 Apr. 1919). Selecting the "no dots" option in Settings has no effect.

Greast program for showing off, or just checking on my data from my Legacy family tree. The display is very logical and easy to see and use.

Very usefull application for me. Synchronization between my android device and PC is good - no problem. And my family tree is available for me - anytime and anywhere. Great job. I can recommend for Legacy Family tree users. After last update Master list address works well!

Don't like the new bright color. Would prefer the option for a darker theme. Other wise very good app.

U70%
by U####:

It works..., kinda. OK for displaying info. Not OK for entering info. The main screen, the pedigree chart, looks like a bad web page from the 1990s. I do find it handy, but it should be a lot better than it is.

Nothing like it.

J70%
by J####:

Although it was working fine before, when I attempted to install the latest update on 16 Oct 2016 it will not install. As a result I can no longer use this. This is now the next day and today the App installed without problems. I do get an error when trying to convert a Legacy 8.0 file and had to use the 7.5 version of my data. I thought it is supposed to work with Legacy 8.0

Very usefull application for me. Synchronization between my android device and PC is good - no problem. And my family tree is available for me - anytime and anywhere. Great job. I can recommend for Legacy Family tree users. Edit: Tip for improve this app - I can not select address from master list address event when I want add address to the any fact or event.

This is the best app for Legacy 8.0 for the Android. It does everything I could ever ask of the software.

Very happy with this app

U70%
by U####:

This never seems to work for me. I've tried transferring files from Vista and Windows 10 to an LG L-90 and my Galaxy Note 4 and it never works. Most of the time the transfer freezes or the app just doesn't recognize the files. I tried getting support once, but was only told it should work. Well, I could have told myself that. I spent money on something broken and never got a refund.

Hi, I would like this app to open an fdb file that I have already downloaded to my phone. Thanks. God bless. Aaron

K70%
by K####:

Good program could be great with a little more work. Putting pictures can be difficult at times. Search needs improved.

U70%
by U####:

I assume the wifi transfer program also converts the fbd file into sqlite3 format. It would be more useful to use the native database format so the fbd can be stored in the cloud and kept synced.

This app is perfect for my Legacy files. With more than 5000 members in my tree file, it sure helps to be able to carry it with me and reference at a moments notice. ☺

K70%
by K####:

I had given up on this app a year and a half ago because I found it so cumbersome to transfer. I just used their 'Dropbox' option and WOW! It could not have been easier!

When I try to download on my new ASUS ZenFone I get error 194. This is a purchased app. I would like to be able to use it.

T70%
by T####:

Fonts for the main screen are good now. Can the date of birth have a similar font? The fonts have been reduced again. There is enough space for a larger font. What about the date of birth font? Can you please increase the dob font? Why was the date of birth font not increased to match the other fonts? Yet another update without increasing the date of birth font. Another update and yet the date of birth font wasn't increased.

I70%

Installation took 15 min. Works great! Took my 73 mb family file right down, and only choked on 3 big TIFF files. Don't worry, files go on sd card.

Great app. Editing facility on phone is brilliant. Developer support also fantastic. HTC Desire HD and Windows 7 via Parallels on Mac.

C70%

Took two times to download small family tree and it took five to six times to download larger family tree. Kept getting "unexpected error".

If you use Legacy & a smartphone and/or tablet, then you want this to always have your tree(s) photos, documents et al with you!

K70%

A great app. A little learning was needed and I'm still learning.But it's great to sit with elderly relatives over a coffee and pick their memory and record it right onto my phone. No bulky laptops or napkins . The fonts don't bother me I just want the great mobility I now have .Thanks

Y70%

If you use Legacy & a smartphone and/or tablet, then you want this to always have your tree(s) photos, documents et al with you! It will always be the 1st app I install on a new phone or tablet.

Y70%
by Y####:

App has great potential. However, not easy to access additional spouses and families on fgs, hard when you have multiple spouses in a data base of 70,000 plus and you can't remember their names.

Y70%
by Y####:

Works better on iPhone text size is too small on Android even on a large screen. All that real estate with tiny tiny letters. Interface is confusing and I often get bumped out the database as a result & have to log back in.
