Fill in the Blanks

Most families are able to trace their history back a few generations at least and then it seems the blanks and questions start popping up. If you want to go further and really build a more complete and larger family tree then there are services that can help you such as the MyHeritage app.

The best iPad apps for maps

As mentioned with this app you'll have access to billions of global historical records, which is what makes it possible to complete your family tree. Because this will be a work in process that will take you a while to complete you'll be able to view, make edits, and additions quickly and easily.

While the app is free to download and create an account, you'll find you'll need one of the upgrades in order to access all the information you'll need to build your family tree. The Data Subscription packages give you full access to the global records.

These packages are priced at $16.99 per month or $119.99 for the year, which works out to $9.99 per month. It should be noted that you need to be at least 17 years of age to download this app.

When it comes to adding people to your family tree you can also add details about relationships, events, and profiles.

I really appreciate how simple the layout has been made so that adding members is simple and goof-proof. Use the app to capture, store, and share videos and photos with other family members and friends.
