Ancestris is a genealogy program written in Java. It works under all operating systems: Windows, Linux and MacOS.
This software complies with the terms of the GNU / GPL license that defines free software. It respects the GEDCOM standard as closely as possible, which facilitates the sharing of data with other genealogists.

Ancestris is a convivial and user-adjustable software, that can fit anybody, whether you are a beginner or an experienced and demanding researcher.

You can create your (individual and family) forms, edit reports (lists, statistics...), store multimedia content (photos, videos...). You can make your family book, print your pedigree chart or your descendancy chart.
In addition, you have at your disposal a number of extensions (plugins) for the verification of the gedcom format, the geolocation of the events in your genealogy...
You can browse the net without leaving Ancestris.

Another highlight of Ancestris is the numerous help sites available. Depending on your need of the moment, you may prefer to use the integrated help (F1), the collaborative Wiki website or the 'bible'-like fundamentals (regularly updated by the author and to be downloaded). If you still have a question you can share with other users through the discussion list.

If you wish, you can take part in the evolution of Ancestris, by sharing your opinions and ideas (through the mailing list) or participating in its development.


The whole Ancestris development Team wishes you good genealogy research.
