Familienbande has a new release out – the 10 September 2022 release. Familienbande is a cross-platform free family tree program (the direct translation is “Family Ties”) that is available in nearly a dozen languages, and has been around for quite some time..
It’s available for Windows 7-10 (and most likely 11), macOS (including both Intel and Apple M1 ARM versions), and Linux (see install notes here), and all three versions are available here: Familienbande-genealogie.de
It is a very unique genealogy application – it can be run without installing, off of a USB-stick or CD-ROM, as well as numerous other features (see the feature list).
