Description:
WinGenea is a program that stores overall details of a family or project together with the details of up to 32,000 individuals and how they relate to each other. These individuals and their relationships are displayed as a standard dropline chart. You can draw three different versions of the chart for each data file and switch between them. Enter names, dates, places and sources for each person, and attach bitmaps from your scanned photographs (see screen shot). Up to 32,000 characters of free text can be entered for each person. Position individuals where you want them on the chart using drag-and-drop. If they're married then their spouse moves too. A "Show Pedigree of..." function provides a starting point for organizing the chart, arranging it so that it is comprised of direct lineage based on the selected person. Remaining persons are added to a toolbar list from where you can drag and drop them onto the chart if you wish. You can open GEDCOM files produced by other genealogy programs and convert the data to WinGenea format. Similarly you can save the currently open WinGenea file in GEDCOM format, or in CSV format, enabling the data to be read into a database or spreadsheet. Charts, family, group and individual details, indexes of all individuals, a timeline of events, an Ahnentafel report for any individual, and a calendar of births and marriages, can all be printed. This is a 30-day trial version.
