ohmiGene 0.91.9
March 16, 2006
ohmiGene version 0.91.9, a genealogy application for Windows, is available. It’s free for now. You can download ohmiGene here.
Description: OhmiGene is a software for the creation and the management of genealogical data … which works on MacOS X and Windows, even Linux (?).
A database created on Mac works on PC (Windows or Linux), and vice versa.
The structure of the database was defined to be in maximal agreement with the GEDCOM format: if any context concerning the submission of a file to the church LDS is absent, almost totality of the other contexts are correctly handled (import, manipulation and export…) : OhmiGene is a software which respects a GEDCOM file at import (and export). It is very rare !
Updates:
* Addition of a new website template (simplified)
* Optimization of the display for ‘enormous’ genealogies.
* New tree 7G +
* Note: There is no update for the help file.
Online PAF Tutorial - BYU.edu
March 16, 2006
Those of you using Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for your genealogy research, or even those just thinking about it, there is a new online tutorial for PAF, located at paftutorial.byu.edu. It’s incredibly comprehensive, has flash-based demonstrations/tutorials (with audio) as well as step-by-step tutorials, and it walks you through all of the views you would typically encounter while using PAF. Even if you use, and are familiar with PAF, you might still find some of the tutorials helpful. It was created for a family history/genealogy class at Brigham Young University, but they have generously made it available for anyone to use, at no charge.
