Running Certified programs for FamilySearch that were created for Windows on a Mac

1. You will need a valid copy of Microsoft Windows.
   
2. You can partition your hard drive and create a windows section on your computer which will allow you to run any of the certified programs for New Family Search on your computer. You would partition your hard drive using Apple's Boot Camp. Boot Camp comes preinstalled on your computer. The program walks you though step by step how to partition the hard drive although I do recommend that you print out the instructions before you begin. Apple
   
3. As alternatives to BootCamp there are a few virtualization programs that allow you to run the Windows OS as you would a native program program.

MacFamilyTree 7 (MacStammbaum 7 in Germany) is a popular genealogy app developed for the Mac OS X and iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) platform, that dates back to the late 1990s, when MacFamilyTree version 1.0 ran on 68k Macs (version 1.6 was the first to support PowerPC Macs). It is one of the “cleanest” apps when it comes to iCloud/cross-platform support between your Mac and iOS device, and it fully supports the “Handoff” capabilities of OS X 10.10 “Yosemite”, where you can be working on a person or family on your Mac, and pick up your iPad, and immediately begin working where you left off. MFT has several visualization options, including a “Virtual Globe” that allows you to physically track where your ancestors lived, married, immigrated, etc. If you enable the FamilySearch features, it has extensive built-in support for FamilySearch.

MobileFamilyTree, the iOS companion app for MFT, is a fully-featured genealogy app in its own right. You do not need a desktop or laptop to do your genealogy research using MobileFamilyTree, and it supports sharing GEDCOM files with others (something several of the mobile apps do not). It does offer most of the features of MacFamilyTree, and it’s one of the first true genealogy apps available to iPhone users, with version 1 being released in 2008.
