[5][6][7] RootsMagic is a genealogy program that assists family historians in tracking, organizing, printing, and sharing family history.

RootsMagic 4-9 database design uses SQLite 3 as its database engine so the .rmgc and .rmtree database files it creates are readable using third party SQLite management and development tools.
