GeneWeb
GeneWeb is a
genealogy software program with a Web interface. It can be used
off-line or in a Web environment. It uses
very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing.
GeneWeb is what is called a "daemon" (in the Unix world). It
is a program that spends its time waiting for somebody to send it
requests. The program is also able to record a log of the requests made
to it.
GeneWeb does not use applets, Java, nor Javascript, just
simple HTML. All the computing is done by the home (server) computer.
The software still functions even if a web server has not been
installed on the machine.
GeneWeb is used as the engine for several public genealogy
websites, including GeneaNet, a collection of inter-searchable
genealogical databases currently containing references to more than 225
million persons.
Features include:
- Web interface
- High capacity:
- GeneWeb can allow multiple wizards to manage the
genealogical database
- GeneWeb can manage large databases: the Roglo database,
for example, is managed by about 200 wizards
and contains over 2.5 million entries
- Dynamic display - the pages that are displayed in GeneWeb
are not created beforehand. Each request, even the simplest access to
someone's personal records, are created dynamically, at the time of the
request
- Relationship and consanguinity computing
- Spelling correction
- Nobility titles
- Information update and protection
- Customization (background color, etc)
- Miscellaneous Features: birthdays, last births, etc.

Catalan, Czech, German, Danish, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Estonian,
Finnish, French, Hebrew, Latvian, Icelandic, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian,
