About Ancestor+
At the time of his death Graham Crow was working on a program that was to have been called Ancestry+. It was thought to be nearly finished, but this proved not to be the case. Ancestor+ is based upon this but is a new program, with lots of additional features like GEDCOM import and export, export data as cross-referenced HTML file, export sub-files, merge files, much greater ease of use and flexibility, and many other things.

Ancestor+ has been designed to be very simple to use, even by people who are not computer experts. It's incredibly easy to enter data and link people into 'families'. Because of the way it can store and index huge amounts of 'external' data of almost any type it is ideal for people who want to compile complete family histories rather than just genealogical data.

Ancestor+ can hold records for over 20,000 individuals. It can create HTML trees with separate x-referenced files for each Person and Family which makes it much easier for people who want to put data on their web sites. You can incorporate pictures into the HTML files if required.

Ancestor+ Version 3
This is a major upgrade and addresses many issues raised by users. Version 3 will become the new 'base' level upon which future development will be based. See also additional features introduced with version 3.31. Some of the most important improvements are:

• Improved graphics charts, now also includes 'hourglass' charts and 'bloodline only' charts.
• Direct import of GEDCOM.
• New functions to renumber records in the file so that record numbers can approximate the natural order of the people.
• Database has been re-structured to make it more robust and eliminate previous problems with 'soft' links between people.
• A partner can now be removed from a family group without breaking up the whole family.
• Chart 'Layout' files more fully supported and remain correct even after database sorting.
• 'Pedigree' charts can now be up to 7 generations and be tiled to A4 if necessary.
• The 'User definable' fields now each have an associated date to make recording of dated events easier.
• Individual people can now be removed from a chart where they are not relevant.
• User can choose the font used in charts.

Some new features introduced in version 3.20 are :

• Ahnentafel numbers now supported and can be calculated for any person in the database.
• You can now enter up to four Witnesses in the Family (marriage) window.
• Improved HTML export and you can now save your HTML export settings.
