It fully supports the GEDCOM standard and is even able to handle non standard tags. 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.

If you get stuck just ask and I will do my best to help you out! Also the Docs are a wiki so if you find anything that is out of date and/or could be explained better feel free to update it.First 6 months of using this wonderful software. It may seem intimidating at first and the learning curve can be quite steep, but once you get going it's incredibly powerful and you are totally in control! :)

Also if you keep in mind that TKL is a headless server OS based on Debian (v12.x is based on Squeeze, v13 will be based on Wheezy) you will find tons of info via google. You may (or not) find some reading in the Docs section (under Help at the top of the page), but specifically this page might be a good place to start. TKL has an awesome backup system called TKLBAM which will allow you to migrate your VM straight to AWS (once you have it all working as you need it to (note though that if you have a big media directory that will take quite a while to upload).Īs for documentation, to be honest, formal TKL docs are a bit scant. Then it won't cost you anything until you are ready to launch it.

Then I would suggest that you download the TKL LAMP appliance and install to a VM (VirtualBox is a free one - read more about virtualisation if you want here, a dated but still relevant VirtualBox install tutorial is here). But if you run into any issues then please feel free to post back and I will see what I can do. I would love to offer to help you or do it for you but I don't have the time or energy to take on anything more at the moment. From a cusory glance it appears that installation is relatively straight forward and I would imagine that it would install on the TKL LAMP appliance ok.Īs it is free open source software and is maintained it could be a good candidate for a TKL appliance. It has a demo that you can have a look at and it also claims that it can import phpGedView data. It was forked from PhpGedView in 2010 and has been under consistant development since. My brief research suggests that webtrees may be a better option. The last time it was updated was some time ago (2011?) and I read reports that it doesn't support newer versions of php (TKL 12.x has 5.3.3, TKL v13.x will have 5.4.4) although that may be hearsay. I have just had a quick look and it seems that PhpGedView is Abandonware.
