Family trees
3
June 26th, 2007UncategorizedI did quite a bit of work on my family tree years ago and bought a copy of Family Tree Maker at the time. Since then I’ve installed it on machine after machine until now, when I have a mac and don’t want to install parallels just to run a very old version of FTW. Instead I downloaded a copy of MacFamilyTree which is quite a pleasant application, and works well with the GED file exported from FTW, but seems to be short on a couple of useful features whilst still in demo mode, and until I know what those features are like I don’t particularly want to spend $50.
Yesterday Aral twittered about Geni and Richard quickly sent me the link. It looks like quite a nice way to get a quick visualisation of your family tree, and is very usable, allowing you to invite other members of your family to contribute. Unfortunately for me there is no way to import GEDCOM files yet and until then it won’t become a usable solution as I’m not about to retype 150 or so peoples data in. Sigh!

Great to get your Geni feedback. We currently have the ability to export Geni files from your Geni family tree–we will add the ability to import GEDCOM files soon. If you are interested in being notified when this is ready please send an email to me and I will be happy to see that you are notified.

What a faciating web page ! I only googled to look for snorkel tips and found my self visiting your life of the last 7 years ! Similarities are plentiful – especially your love of travel, photography and geneology. I’m into all 3 and suppose all I need to do now is set up my webpage. Can’t imagine whee you get all the time from to do this – especially over so many years – but I guess its better than watching BB !
So if nothing else, this could be your first comment from the Cayman Islands – if it is – HIYA ! If not – boo hoo…..
