I didn’t test any of them, so I don’t know how useful this feature actually is. + Possible to export different species of GEDCOM 5.5 (AQ, Heritage Family Tree, FTM, and PAF). + Over all does a fairly decent job of importing and exporting GEDCOM files, with the caveats noted in the Cons section. + Imported most but not all custom FTM fields (see Cons for those that weren’t). Also imported additional instances of the NAME tag for a particular individual as Additional Names. + Imported FTM’s illegal use of the ALIA tag as an AKA. If the import option “Include listing file data in notes” is selected, then all unrecognized data are imported into the note for the corresponding person.

Note: portions of text in all capital letters are GEDCOM tags, with the rest of the plain text field name in lowercase.

The RootsMagic-to-go was found to be intuitive and effective in syncing data between computers and to allow the program to run without ANY install on computers without any trace left on the host computer. RootsMagic's color coding and more visual graphical displays where found to communicate more information in a more pleasant and easier to understand format. They also found that RootsMagic performs many task NOT found in AncestralQuestand had more features! The conclusion was that RootsMagic performs each and every task that AncestralQuest performs and the consensus was that RootsMagic performs most tasks better than AncestralQuest. After listing each task the RootsMagic user details how RootsMagic performs the task. Step one the AncestralQuest user listed ALL the features of AncestralQuest and how well AncestralQuest performs each of those tasks. One a AncestralQuest user and the other a RootsMagic user.
