Hi Doug.. That webpage IS my program. I believe webtrees to be a pretty good genealogy program, that not only is free, but resides in the 'web'. So I can go around and show it or edit it. It's my own private web server though, and not many people know how to manage one... It does export to GEDCOM, so I can move out of it anytime I want. I even have some accounts created for family members so that they can edit their own stuff (subject to my later approval).
The reports do include all the names I insert. The search is a bit different, it does try to find name variations (if I search for Joao Ventura, it will also list José Ventura), but the more terms you enter, the more you filter out. If I want to find all couples with Inacio Jose and Maria whatever, I'd search for 'Inacio Jose Maria', That search actually returns a couple results in my DB. Feel free to try it ( http://venturas.org/familytree/search.php). João C. Ventura On Thursday, November 14, 2013 5:25:35 PM UTC+1, Doug da Rocha Holmes wrote: > > Hi Joao, > > Interesting.
