User:Mvuijlst/Genbox Family History

Work in progress.

Genbox Family History is a genealogy application for Microsoft Windows, developed by Thoughtful Creations. It functions as a database, a research planner and task organizer, a data analyzer, a chart producer, and a report writer. It includes translations in 11 languages.

Features
Genbox has evolved since its first release in 1993 as a DOS family tree charting application. It is now a complete genealogy software package, with project organisation features, support for data and media storage, source citations, and the production of professional-quality charts and reports.

Some of its features include:


 * Support for complex relationships among individuals, events, dates, places, and source citations: multiple personal names and identifiers, optionally linked to defining events, can be stored for individuals. Accurate relationships between each child and any number or type (biological, adoptive, foster, step, etc.) of parents can be stored. Any number of event types, attributes, and flags can be defined. Witnesses to events can be recorded, along with their roles.
 * Places are data items in their own 6-level hierarchy. Each place can have multiple names, with optional date ranges of validity, and still be recognized as the same place.
 * An unlimited number of event types and source types are supported with a sophisticated, multi-language template system. Event sentences and citation formats can be customized by the user.
 * General and research notes can be recorded for individuals, events, identifiers, families, and parents.
 * Searches for individuals can be filtered by identifier, attribute, event characteristics, and other information.
 * Saved lists, or target groups, can be created for individuals, places, and events.
 * Searchable logs for correspondence, research targets (to dos), and special projects can be kept.
 * In addition to standard reports, customized reports about individuals, places, events, citations, sources, media, and research targets can be generated by the user.
 * Reports can be generated in rtf and HTML format.
 * Multimedia support for images, audio, and video
 * Full Unicode support, Gedcom import and export.
 * Data is stored using the Jet Database Library
