The Master Genealogist

The Master Genealogist (TMG) is a popular genealogy software for Windows that was discontinued at the end of 2014 (The announcement.). ­The Master Genealogist is able to be customized for data entry through user-defined event, name, and relationship types.

TMG uses DLL's from Visual Fox Pro (VFP) so many issues associated with VFP affect TMG.

TMG's version history can be found on Wikipedia

There are a couple of Linux alternatives:

  • Gramps (Debian package) -  written in Python. Good data-model (Supports GEDCOM 5.5.1), handles large family trees well.
  • GeneWeb (Debian package) - Written in OCaml, with CGI interface. Simpler data-mode, but handles 400k-name families without trouble.
