I know a bit about my family history, but what about my grandkids? Will they get to know my mother? I've seen pictures that my aunt has dug up out of I don't know where, but I want to know what these people were like. This seems like a great tool!! But what about the future?

I found the GRAMPS community very open an willing to listen to suggestions an developing the software, something little heard of in proprietary software. You asked about other open source genealogical programs. most are listed on the Genealogy CD, including web based program phpgedview that allows online collaboration. In GRAMPS multiple users are not yet available but it is being developed.

However, in order to allow as many relatives as possible to combine their efforts on the tree I have recently switched to the online service provided by ItsOurTree (www.itsourtree.com). You can upload a gedcom file - which GRAMPS can export, and then you can invite family members to join.

I'm not into genealogy yet, but our family is pretty large and it's sad how quickly you forget about relatively or physically distant members of the family. With a tool like this I am tempted to start a project, which could be the best family gift ever for my mother. She's been talking about writing a novel about her side of the family for years. This might be the perfect starter. Thank you so much for bringing this tool to my attention! Fantastic review Mackenzie!
