My favorite genealogy program:
Jamodat's
fantastic WinFamily
I have used and tried
more than ten genealogy programs, but thrown most of them
out right away. WinFamily is made by one man in Denmark,
Jan Mortensen, but is the most intuitive, easy to use and
yet sophisticated program on the market. No
manual is needed! Elderly and even senile,
computer-shy genealogists love it, I can testify from my
own family.
With 10,000 individuals in my family tree (and hundreds
of branches cross marrying into each other over a period
of 4,000 years) most other programs slow down to the
unbearable. In WinFamily I can drag any individual with
the mouse to connect them with spouses and children in an
instant.
The new version WinFamily 6, which will be released in
September 1999, publishes the most beautiful web-pages I
have yet seen with complete trees of all my 10,000 family
members in less than 5 minutes. See here what they look
like for the first 5-7 generations of my family. You can include lengthy notes or whatever you
choose to put into your web-pages. (For lack of space on
my server in Florida I have not included the actual trees
in my Scandinavian
ancestor report and have cut
out the 4,000 ancestors in the rest of Europe and the
3,000 in the Antique (Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece,
Rome, India, Judea etc.)
You can download the program in many languages on www.jamodat.dk in a fully functioning version except for the
printing and web-publishing parts, which can be purchased
for 50 $ later. Even if you already have a favorite
genealogy program, you will find that you need WinFamily
for many of the things the other program can't do. I
actually use other programs, too, and constantly transfer
my gedcom-files between them with no problems.
WinFamily is so easy to use, that it
ought to be the official program of the Mormons!
