Ancestral Quest 12.1, introduced in 2008, adds a suite of features that allow a user to synchronize
and compare local data with the Family Tree of new.FamilySearch.org. Because new.FamilySearch.org
is in a pilot program, these new features in AQ 12.1 are only active for a relatively few users
who are involved in that pilot program. As time goes on, the FamilyTree will become available to more
users, until eventually all users should be able to activate them.
Learn more about these features.
All users not in the pilot program can ignore this set of features as they use
the rest of the program.
Ancestral Quest 12.0, introduced at the beginning of 2007, is a major upgrade which offers dozens of new features to the program.
These features are listed below.

New Capabilities!
|
- Database
Compare/Merge. AQ can compare another AQ file, PAF file or a
GEDCOM file against the current file, and help you identify the differences.
You can import just the changes.
- Individual
Summary screen. View all the information on an individual on one
screen: events, notes, sources, pictures, parents, siblings,
spouses, children, to do items, etc.
- Translate AQ
into any language. Translate all or part of the program to any
language. Share your translations with others, or get translations
from others. You can even change the wording of text or phrases,
such as “Husband” and “Wife” to “Buck” and “Doe” to create a system
for tracking deer breeding.
- Store names,
places in any language. AQ now uses “Unicode” -- you should be
able to store names of people, places, notes, etc., in any language
you require.
- Record DNA Test
Results within each individual record.
- Edit your PAF 5
database right within Ancestral Quest.
- New Tools:
- Convert case
from UPPER to Mixed
- Convert
US/Canada State/Province abbreviations to full name and back
- Confidential Relationships.
Mark children, parents, spouses or spousal relationships as
confidential. Block them from showing on reports or being exported.
