Webtrees genealogy wordpress2/28/2023 Better than expected.Īfter several months of using webtrees genealogy open source application I can highly recommend this solution for geneology enthusiast for its extensive features and how customisable it is as well as providing an easy online collaboration with other relatives in establishing family trees even internationally because you can choose from over 60 languages. Excellent forum help available.īiggest Con: It was intimidating getting started but I am glad I did. Greg Roach (the author of webtrees) runs a dedicated web server and will provide a webtrees server install and maintenance (backups, maintenance, etc.) for a very reasonable price, there is no reason to not leave ancestry now if you have been looking for a way out.īiggest Pro: Privacy if you want, or not. If you are not comfortable setting up website software don’t worry, there is a solution for that. The webtrees forum is very friendly and helpful to all people at different levels of web and genealogy experience, if you are looking for a better way then you have found it right here with webtrees. Webtrees takes some learning but is logically set up and lets you control all aspects of your genealogy web presence, each piece of media can have privacy restrictions, or none at all, your choice. Free at last! Even though I had to use Roots Magic as a middle man to get the media, it was well worth it. Webtrees fit the bill, I downloaded our ancestry GEDCOM and 6GB of MEDIA from ancestry to >Roots Magic< (roots magic is the only genealogy program that does that from ancestry) then exported the gedcom from roots magic, then uploaded and imported the gedcom and media to webtrees. I was looking for a way to show our family genealogy on the web both publicly and privatly without being bullied by a big corporation. First 6 months of using this wonderful software.
