Capturing detailed information

You can enrich each person in a tree with many types of data, for example:

• Educational background and academic milestones
• Employment and occupational records
• Source citations and research references
• Geographical locations and place details
• Contact information for living persons
• Photographs and media files

The software is built to scale and can handle very large datasets without compromising the clarity of the diagrams.

Layout, visuals, and organization

• An object-oriented database underpins the program to support hierarchical links and circular relationships
• Custom symbols help viewers quickly distinguish different types of family connections
• Whole branches can be relocated between sheets with minimal clicks
• Large pedigrees can be split into multiple linked sub-diagrams for easier navigation

Color-coding lets you highlight attributes such as ethnicity, religion, citizenship, education level, or any other category you define. Manual positioning of individuals is supported so you can arrange the chart to emphasize the relationships or questions you’re investigating.

Reporting and output

GenoPro can produce comprehensive family reports and export or print them in the language of your choice. Its reporting features are designed to summarize branches, timelines, events, and family narratives for presentation or archival use.
