If you choose to exclude living individuals on the Features tab, then living individuals will not appear at all. In this case GED-GEN will only process, and count, deceased individuals. If all individuals in a family are living, the whole family is excluded. An individual is usually considered living if there is no date of death specified.
Your GEDCOM file contains individuals who are not associated with any families. Since these individuals do not appear as children or as spouses on any family page, GED-GEN creates a family page for them. The only way to navigate to one of these “extra” family pages is via the individual’s name on the index page.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer and you click on a link in a family page (or surname or index page), you may find that nothing happens. The web page doesn’t appear and there is no error indication displayed by the browser.
Transferring hundreds of files, one file at a time, with a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program can seemingly take forever. An alternative, if you have “Shell” access to your website account, is to use a file compression program like ZipGenius.
Yes. I accept payments through PayPal. Please use the payment button on the Registration page. It is pre-configured with payment details and you will automatically receive your registration code.
When transferring your web pages to your website, remember to transfer the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file. GED-GEN automatically creates this file in your destination folder. It is usually named base.css, but will have the same file name prefix as the other pages (e.g., grpbase.css). If this file is missing, your family pages will appear without the colors, fonts, text positioning, and background image you specified.
In the un-registered mode, GED-GEN is limited to generating family pages for 500 families. When you register the program, this limit is removed.
No. GED-GEN creates web pages in family group sheet format. This format displays more information, and yet is still easy to navigate by clicking on the name of a parent or spouse.
Yes, the Multimedia Galleries feature will create gallery pages of the multimedia items referenced within your GEDCOM file. Gallery pages display small thumbnail images. Click on a thumbnail to display a slide page, which displays a larger view of the image. You can also link to the original image itself. In addition, you can display “primary” images as portraits for both individuals and family groups.
