Webtrees

Post by RogerF » 12 Jun 2016 14:00

I've had a message from somebody using my Northern Firths website and relating my data to stuff they've seen on Webtrees. I've not come across this product, but it seems to produce a diagramatic display; is it worth investigating?

I looks similar to both TNG and Genealone. I must admit that I personally prefer Genealone but there again Webtrees is free and the others are both paid products. May be worth downloading it and trying it on your own PC using Wampserver or similar.

I had a quick play with Webtrees today and it looks very interesting and may well suit me for my Surname Study as it allows multiple trees (a failing of Genealone) as I have a separate project for each of my study countries.

I will do some more playing with it over the coming days and update this thread.
