I was notified about a free genealogy program for your computer. I had never heard of it before. http://gramps-project.org/ Gramps is a free downloadable genealogy program that has all the features used by professionals. It also has a simple, intuitive interface to make it easy enough for hobbyists. Store names, dates, events and photos, and Gramps will index and organize it all into a visual family tree. You can even browse your data geographically using the map feature. Allen
This is very much the same as is provided by GENI.com, also a free genealogical site. It started out like Gramps many years ago and is easy to work with. You do not burden your own computer's memory bank, you have it stored for posterity at the GENI site. Now there are 44 Million entries available and when family matches are made, they send notification, so you can tie into the banks of already researched family lines. Here is an explanation how to get started. The individual profile site has permanent storage for pictures, clippings, events, copies of documents which are archived permanently and your descendants can follow. Here is how you get started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcd7dRdlHG4 Aida On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 5:27 AM, <akrueger@frontiernet.net> wrote: > I was notified about a free genealogy program for your computer.
