Visually build and edit family trees online. Genea is a completely serverless solution for consuming and authoring GEDCOM genealogy data.
Genea allows visually building and editing a family tree online. It consumes and saves genealogy data in the GEDCOM format without any server side components.
Genea uses the Graphviz library compiled into WebAssembly to draw the family tree. It uses a default structure that includes grandparents, parents, partners, siblings and children. An abstraction layer built on top of this allows for easily assigning the right data to the right node.
Implementation of the GEDCOM format in Genea intentionally differentiates itself slightly from the true standard, as it allows a
FAM
record to contain either twoFAM.HUSB
orFAM.WIFE
records to indicate a same sex marriage. Other types of relationships between people are not supported due to the lack of GEDCOM to specify a gender neutralFAM.PART(NER)
record.
