These are the “minor” genealogy software updates that have been released since last Sunday, December 8, 2024. The major updates are for the “Find Duplicate Facts” plugin for Family Historian, and the Genealogy Assistant for Google Chrome browser extension.
Note: This past week for major genealogy software and program updates has been busy – check the December archive of GenealogySoftware.net.
Note: iOS/iPadOS (iPhone, iPad) and Google Android updates, as well as browser extensions, need to be downloaded from their respective stores. It’s not uncommon for the version numbers and release dates between the same app on different platforms (iPhone vs Android) to be different or slightly off. When the updates are the same between two platforms, the updates are only listed once.
If you don’t see an update to a particular genealogy app/program that you know received an update, that’s probably because received its own story, but if not – please contact us!
