GenealogyJ is a viewer and editor for genealogic data, suitable for hobbyist, family historian and genealogy researcher. GenJ supports the Gedcom standard, is written in Java and offers many views like family tree, table, timeline, geography and more.
I was looking for an easy to use but powerful genealogy software. After comparing the various alternatives on the market (both paying and free software) I chose GenJ. GenJ is easy to understand, it has all the views I needed in such a software like the detailed form, the list of persons and of course the graphical tree. Adding members to the family can be done in any of the views. So it is easy to use. The form for adding a person is a bit overloaded but since I don"t have to fill in everything I got used to it. Thank you so much for this excellent piece of software! The cherry on the cake is that it is written in Java, so easily modifiable and can run on any platform. Keep up the good work!
Very well written, flexible and powerful presentation capabilities. Might require some time to get used to, if one doesn't know the Gedcom-standard.
One of the worst UIs I have ever encountered. Poorly thought out, exceedingly difficult to do the simplest tasks. Uninstalled and moved on to better software.
