Besides Gramp, there is Geneweb which I see more like a Web based application than a genealogy software. I think geneweb will run on many other platforms. >If you're looking for a WIN-based freebie, try PAF5 -- >designed so your great-aunt Esmeralda, who never met an >electric typewriter she trusted, can use it. > >Legacy is a bit more complex and a lot prettier to look at. >It has a free version. I would prefer Legacy over PAF because PAF is outdated. The last release may be more than 10 years ago (or little changes after that). Also, you have to be sure PAF will work on Win 7 or 8, a problem with old softwares. Personnally, I use LibreOffice so I can't comment about the ease of use of the freewares !
