Hi Kathy, the price of the Families app in U.S. Dollars is $14.99. The version is the same for the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The app senses the device on which it has been installed and adjusts to that device. For example, the larger screen area of the iPad allows for additional

The further back in history you go, the more documents, books, genealogies, IPMs, Close Rolls, etc., that you research, the more essential it is to have all the alternate names in your Name List of Index. You will never have a clue that some of the people mentioned are related to anyone in
