Family Tree Legends is a Windows genealogy application, and fairly popular. The founders/developers still consider a viable genealogy application (and it's not just family Tree Legends, if you read the article linked at Eastman's above, there are several other areas involved in the sale), however they want to pursue a different opportunity. If you have ever wanted to sell genealogy software and didn't want to develop from the ground up, here is your chances.]]> http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/family-tree-legends-parent-company-up-for-sale/feed/ 0 GENDEX Database and The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/gendex-database-and-the-next-generation-of-genealogy-sitebuilding/ http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/gendex-database-and-the-next-generation-of-genealogy-sitebuilding/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2006 23:47:16 +0000 admin http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/?p=276 Dick Eastman has written an article about the GENDEX Database features of The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding. You can have a look at the GENDEX Database here. Here's a brief summary of just what it is (from Dick Eastman's article):
GENDEX was a method of indexing genealogy information spread across many web sites. It was created by Gene Stark. His web site, www.gendex.com, was a genealogy search engine that indexed more than 22,000 online databases of genealogical information on 60 million people. That means you could search the data from many Web sites by visiting only one site. When you found something that looked worthwhile, you clicked on the name on www.gendex.com and then got transferred to the original source of information on another site. The GENDEX site was shut down on April 22, 2004, apparently due to financial issues. I see that the domain name of gendex.com has now been re-issued to another company that is not involved with genealogy. Now there is new hope for GENDEX; it has been "married" to The Next Generation. Multiple web sites running The Next Generation software are now supplying RSS feeds of their data, which is then merged together into one GENDEX site.
This is a very interesting development concerning GENDEX and genealogy information on the web in general.]]> http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/gendex-database-and-the-next-generation-of-genealogy-sitebuilding/feed/ 0 Behold: Windows 98 and Genealogy Software Development http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/behold-windows-98-and-genealogy-software-development/ http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/behold-windows-98-and-genealogy-software-development/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2006 13:29:53 +0000 admin http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/?p=270 Behold, a Windows genealogy application, brings up an interesting issue about the future of genealogy software development for Windows - namely, should developers still be supporting Windows 98.
