Forebears User Guide

This User Guide begins by explaining Forebears on the iPhone, then describes how the screens are arranged on iPad and Mac. Users of the iPad and Mac versions will find that most of the essential information is already covered in the iPhone section. All users are strongly encouraged to read the first topic, “Protecting Your Data,” which will help them feel confident using Forebears as their go-to genealogy application.
