About
I’m Mike Voisin, author of the GED-GEN program. By way of background, I have over thirty years experience as a software engineer. Genealogy is one of my hobbies, which I started in earnest in 1994.
By 2000 I published my family tree on the Internet. Unfortunately there were no software tools then that did precisely what I wanted. So I created GED-GEN, a Windows program to automatically generate a genealogy website. It converts a GEDCOM data file to a series of web pages in family group sheet format. Since 2002, people from all over the world have used GED-GEN for their websites.
Hi there, Mike
Sometime since I have visited GED-GEN site and I notice that there is a new version. I have been using 1.7. How can I get notifications of new/update versions?
Can I install the new version over 1.7 without upsetting my custom settings?
Also is the place to place new topics in the blog?
Thanks,
Ian Bell
Hi Ian,
There are several ways to get GED-GEN update notifications. Check the Resources page for details.
You can install a new version over an earlier version and it will not modify your customizations. However it’s always a good idea to back up your options set periodically.
I use the blog format rather than a message board. If you have an issue to report, please e-mail me at support@ged-gen.com. I will blog about the issues and questions I receive and then anyone can leave comments about them.
