Calico Pie is a software publisher founded by Simon Orde, in 1995. Its flagship product is Family Historian, a desktop genealogy program. Family Historian has won numerous awards, including coming top in the two most recent group comparisons of leading genealogy programs, by Which? Computing. In 2015, Your Family Tree magazine said of version 6, "The crown for best PC software belongs to Family Historian 6 for 2015!", and gave it their Seal of Approval award (issue 154).The program can be used to generate charts and diagrams, reports, maps, books & booklets, websites, and family tree CDs & DVDs. Reports and books can be saved in rich-text format, suitable for editing in a word-processor. Diagrams, charts, reports and books can all be saved in PDF format. Pictures can be linked to all the people in them (each person is linked directly to their face in the picture). The program also features a map window (with a choice of map types), web hints (automatic matching of data in databases on the Internet), an automatic source citation pane (to make adding sources easy), web clipping tools (for extracting data from web pages), internet search tools, interactive 'smart trees', multi-level undo/redo, and more. Users can extend the program themselves by creating plugins using scripting tools which are included with each copy. Plugins can be shared with other users by uploading them to the Family Historian Plugin Store.
