-====== Pedigree Software ======
-===== PediTree Family History and Genealogy System =====
-Pedigree Software make and support **PediTree**, a genealogy system for researching, storing and printing your family history. {{ :pedigree-software:henry8f.gif?direct&250|click for larger image}} PediTree's strengths are its compact storage and comprehensive indexing of very detailed records of People and Marriages, with details of Sources such as Census records. PediTree runs under all current versions of Windows from XP to 8.
-Each database of up to 32,000 related Person, Marriage, Source, Census... files has its own definitions of fields and reports in a data dictionary control file.  There is no limit on the number of different databases. These may be different branches of your family, unrelated one-name lists or temporary databases imported from other systems using GEDCOM.
-Events such as birth, baptism, death, burial, will, marriage and divorce have individual notes and links to Sources. Similarly occupations and residences have dates and links to Sources. Such groups of information can occur up to 250 times to record full historical information.
-Printed reports come in two forms: tabulated in columns or fixed layout (such as a five-generation birth-brief). The columnar form can be exported in CSV, tab-delimited and RTF formats for inclusion in word-processed documents. All reports can be changed by yourself and new versions added if required.
-Descendant and Ancestor trees can be drawn in the British drop-down wide tree (which can be printed over many pages), in a compact [[:pedigree-software:talltree|tall tree]], or in [[:pedigree-software:charts|compact indented outline charts]]. All can be tailored to show varying amounts of detail.
-How your information is displayed on the screen or in printed output is determined by a special [[:pedigree-software:pedigrep|picture script]] language that is built into the database. Making changes to the supplied picture scripts is one way in which printed reports and trees can be altered to suit your needs.
-PediTree can export your whole database, or a selected part of it, as a GEDCOM file. It can also create Web pages with indexes and ancestor or descendant charts. Selection techniques include identifying connected groups of people and/or records that meet specified critera.
-PediTree's databases, reports and charts can be altered to suit your needs. You can have as many databases as you wish to deal with the families you are researching. In a database, you can create additional record types to hold different sorts of information and link them to existing Person, Marriage or Source records.
