BranchesA few people have asked how many families GED-GEN can process.  Please see my previous post FAQ: Maximum Families.

Here’s a link to someone who uses GED-GEN to publish web pages for over 23,000 families and over 80,000 individuals. You can browse other family trees on the Internet created by GED-GEN with this Google Search.

Each time you export a GEDCOM file, your favorite genealogy program may renumber the families. This may happen if you add or delete families or you change which individuals are exported to the GEDCOM file.

Why does GED-GEN generate more than one HTML file per family?

If you choose to include source citations on the Features tab, you have the option of displaying footnotes either at the bottom of the family page, or in a separate frame window at the bottom of your browser. If you choose to display them in a separate frame window, then GED-GEN generates three Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files per family.
