Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 35 Send Message	Hello, Can anyone recommend an open source genealogy software? I currently use Php Gedview but I am not really impressed with the reports it does. Does anyone have any recommendations? Regards Claire

What would you want the software to do that it cannot be rewritten to do? (I see there is an ambitious set of requests, such as automatic face recognition!)

	Do you actually mean open source, or just free?
