RootsMagic 7 is Now Available - with WebHints (FamilySearch and MyHeritage)

RootsMagic 7 genealogy software has been released and can be purchased at the www.RootsMagic.com website - check on "Store."  If you're a new user, it costs $29.95, if you are updating an earlier version it costs $19.95.

I downloaded the program tonight as an update, received my registration key via email, and had it working within about two minutes of pressing the Download button.

The RootsMagic website says that the updated features in Version 7 include:

==============================================

WebHints

• RootsMagic automatically searches your favorite genealogy records sites including FamilySearch and MyHeritage for possible matches to your data
• As matches are found, a light bulb appears next to each person's name
• Clicking on the light bulb opens up a web browser with the matching records (some records may require a subscription)

    

DataClean

• NameClean finds and corrects many common problems in personal names in your file
• PlaceClean finds and corrects many common problems in place names in your file

=========================================

I will have to explore the WebHints later this week.  The WebHints are for MyHeritage and FamilySearch records that can are pushed to the software - a light bulb is shown when there is a WebHint.  For instance, here is a screenshot from my database:

See the yellow light bulbs on the right side of the person's name?  Those are the Web Hints.  I had to use this family because there aren't many WebHints on the earlier families!
