Gramps Web is a web-based genealogy application designed for researching, documenting and sharing family histories. It provides a modern interface for working with genealogical databases, allowing users to explore family relationships, examine historical records and collaborate with relatives.
The application is built around the Gramps genealogy system and works alongside the Gramps desktop application. Both applications can share genealogical information, making it possible to conduct detailed research on a desktop computer while providing convenient access to family records through a web browser.
Gramps Web is particularly useful for families and research groups who want to maintain a shared genealogical database. It can be self-hosted, giving administrators control over access, personal information and stored records. Its interface also works on mobile devices, allowing family members to contribute information without installing specialist desktop software.
This is free and open source software.
