📣My Family Tree 16 now available

Today we are excited to announce the release of My Family Tree 16 available now from the latest updates page.

Notable improvements

• The Catalan, Finnish, French, German, Spanish, and Polish translations have been updated.
• This release supports the Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0 which brings many performance enhancements to the application.
• We continue to support the new GEDCOM 7 and GEDZIP formats as these begin to see wider use in genealogy apps and services.  Minor refinements have been made to take account of the ongoing development of GEDCOM 7.

Community translations

My Family Tree is available in over 30 languages spanning every continent in the world.  Over 60 users have helped to translate My Family Tree, whilst also engaging with the development team to ensure that local specific grammar is handled correctly.  As new features are added, inevitably, translations become less complete, but most languages require only minimal work to complete.  If you can help, check out the Localisation Toolkit or get in touch.

Upgrading from earlier versions

My Family Tree requires the Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0 or later which is supported on Windows 11, and Windows 10 (20H2 and later).
Users of the Microsoft Store version of My Family Tree will automatically receive the update.  For all other users the new version is available now .
