Comments on Families for Android

★★★★★ Marek Přichystal · Oct 12, 2016
Families Very useful 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.
★★★★★ Donna W. · Jul 16, 2020
I literally use the Families app every day. I've read some of the negative reviews, and they seem to be mostly about not being able to sync their devices with their Legacy files. I have not had any problems doing this with my Android; it works well for me. Having my genealogy data with me at all times has been a lifesaver. When I go to a library/archive or out of town on a research trip, I am able to look up anyone I have a question about to be sure I have the right person, right dates, right places, etc. There's no way I can remember all the details for everyone in my file, so the Families app is essential for me. One of the best things about the app is that when I am at a family gathering, my relatives will come to me knowing that I'm the family historian and ask me questions. I grab my phone, look up the person in question, and am able to provide the answer since I have the person's details as well as all my notes and sources in the Families app. People are very impressed when they see that. I love this app!
★★☆☆☆ Vivien Brown · Mar 11, 2020
I rarely take the time to write a review...only if I'm extremely happy with the product or if I'm very dissatisfied. In this case it is the latter. I agree with Linda and Christine. After messing with the app for about 30 minutes trying to get my Legacy file onto my Android I finally figured out what it was asking me about the file! Once I figured that out, I tried to sync using the USB and everything looked like it was running, but it didn't appear on the app on my phone. Then I tried to sync by Wi-Fi. I still can't see the file on my Families app. I don't consider myself an idiot when it comes to technology. Better instructions are needed to walk people through the process. It is not intuitive nor user-friendly.
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Aug 17, 2015
Bought this as a recommendation, tried to load a ged file it does not recognize it nor is there anyway to load it thought my file was corrupt but loaded a free app, and it opened it straight away I want a refund
★☆☆☆☆ Donald Dillenbeck · Mar 17, 2022
After software update yesterday, Families app would not open, goes to blank screen. Tried to reinstall app, lost 4 other Families files that were large. Only file left is sample Kennedy file! This problem has occurred multiple times!!! 3/16/2022 Tried to use app today. All data files lost. Sometimes getting message "App will be put to sleep as it is unused" even though it is used frequently! Why does this system software put apps to sleep and how do you block this and get app to open again?

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, 8 and 9

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.
