This means that they will host your website on their system. We were also really impressed with the free web hosting on offer with GRAMPS. Those using GRAMPS are encouraged to give back to the community by supporting new users and this means that the wiki is regularly updated, users often post interesting blogs, and there is generally someone on-hand at the forums to answer any questions.

Our favourite aspect of the GRAMPS “community” approach was the help and support available. However, if you’re looking to create high quality glossy reports then you may want to look elsewhere. If this is not a big deal for you and you’re getting into genealogy just out of personal interest, then GRAMPS could well be the software for you. It’s in the presentation, however, that users will notice the real difference between GRAMPS and one of our top rated products in this category. GRAMPS allows you to input data, attach media, add filters and lenses to analyse your data, and produce reports.Īll of this works perfectly well. This isn’t to say the features aren’t there. Whilst this does mean that the software is constantly evolving (Gramps 4.1.2 released March 2015), it also results in some aspects of the software appearing quite amateurish and unpolished. For starters, GRAMPS is a community run project which means that all development is undertaken by volunteers dedicated to the GRAMPS project. While other products in this category offer free versions of their software with the goal of then later selling you additional add-ons, users can be assured that GRAMPS is free of charge and will remain that way. Those who have already done a little research into genealogy software will notice that what makes GRAMPS stand out is the fact that it’s completely free!

That is to say, a family tree building programme (our guess is that the acronym preceded the name!). GRAMPS stands for “Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System”.
