Features

Family.Show includes the following features:

  • Data grid to edit person information.
  • Add photos easily via drag-and-drop and write rich text stories about family members.
  • A family tree diagram which supports panning, zooming and a time slider control to display the tree from a historical perspective.
  • Multiple sequential and concurrent spousal relationships.
  • Family statistics such as last name tag cloud, age distribution historgram and birthday list.
  • Partial support for GEDCOM 5.5, a de facto genealogy format.
  • Change the look of the entire application by choosing a different skin.

    • Family.Show is intended as a reference sample and not a feature complete genealogy application. Some limitations are:

  • Support of a single birth and death event per person.
  • No support for approximate dates (Abt. 1815, Bet. Jan 1707/08 - Jan 1708/09, Bef. 1931).

    • File format

    Family.Show uses an Open Package Convention file format (*.familyx) to save family data, stories, and photos in one file.
