Genealogy/Family Tree Apps

[VladaCR]

I wonder if anyone would recommend a good app to make a famiy tree, most preferably an app who's output would be compactible with a PC app of the same type.

Thanks Vlad

I have found two and briefly used only one, Gen5 /Gen5r.

You can export and import in standard GEDCOM format that all the decent genealogy programs use. I ported branches between Brother's Keeper and gen5 quite happily.

Gen5r for revo, has a number of resizing issues but is usable.

A note of caution. Don't try and load all your database into gen5 it will take forever or may never complete. I think the problem was twofold, that the program loads the whole file into memory and that each record took several seconds to process.
