It seems to have everything I was looking for with the added option of running it online. PhpGedView isn’t what I would call extremely User Friendly (and I hate Java Script) but…. This just sucks.Īll I really wanted was a stand-alone database but I can host PhpGedView online as well and that’s a PLUS. Now, stepping (back) into it I bought FTM 2011 only find that it and most everything else (now) is dependent on third party web sites. I used Family Tree Maker back in the ’90s (Win 3.11) and it was great. Let him get back to his ‘beautiful mind’ delusions. However when you do….and want at LEAST easily verified info corrected…and instead of any help, receive ridiculous foreign language youtube videos emailed in return, take the site out of the hands of Mr. When one finds their beloved grandmother’s and grandfather’s birth and death dates far from accurate, it’s a natural thing to contact the suggested person.

When there are typos and oversights, human error is natural. PhpGedView would be great for a family grouping large enough to have several who are undaunted by logging onto a web presence to do genealogy.īiggest Con: Seems to have a low interest quotient for those who are not web denizens. Now I just populate the family tree on my local machine, and generate reports for relatives as they show interest. But, for whatever reason, I decided it best to drop the website after about 4 years, leaving it to the wayback machines and archives of history. Perhaps it was my fault, not providing a blog with interesting factoids and write-ups.
Webtrees vs phpgedview software#
Only those who had some acquaintance with software development visited more than once, and their interest waned after a couple visits. It seemed as if everyone had their own method of documenting the family tree, and “never the twain shall meet” so to speak. The only downside I had was a lack of interest on the part of my relatives that I invited to join me in as a participant on the website.
I am a software developer, so I had no problems with configuring and maintaining the website. So, these comments are a bit out of date, if John Finlay has updated his software since then.īut, I’d like to say that the software ran fine on my Linux machine. I used PhpGedView as the engine on a website I ran for a few years about a decade ago.
