Features & Capabilities

GedFamilies enables a GEDCOM file to be easily transferred to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, enabling it to be viewed and edited wherever you are. GedFamilies supports the following functionality:

  • GEDCOM 5.5.1 plus support for many custom tags
  • ASCII, ANSI, ANSEL, UTF-8 character sets
  • Multiple family files
  • New family files can be created from scratch

GedFamilies uses a highly efficient database implementation, allowing very large family files to be supported.

GedFamilies requires access to a Wi-Fi network or use of iTunes via a USB connection in order to transfer family files between your device and your PC. USB transfer uses iTunes File Sharing which requires your device to be running iOS 3.2 or above.

GedFamilies requires a companion program running on the PC to transfer family files to and from the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. This program, GedFamilies Sync, can be downloaded free of charge from www.telgen.co.uk/gedfamilies.

A sample family file is included.

Support and exchange of information with other users is available via the user forum at www.telgen.co.uk/gedfamilies/forum.

Horrible!

Tried to download & install GedFamilies Sync on my PC, but this did not work. Very frustrating! Why can’t they use the standard GED format without any further manipulation?

If you hope to use a GEDCOM file using only your iPad FORGET IT. You have to run your GEDCOM file through a converter on a ***PC! Why would I want or need to rely on a PC when my computer is an iPad? I really got screwed on this purchase. Too bad the developer could not have made this clear in the write up. USLESS APP!
