The Complete Genealogy Builder

 

 

The Complete Genealogy Builder is designed to be a fully compliant GEDCOM 5.5 database manager for the creation and maintenance of genealogy projects.   

The design goals are: (i)  simple, clean, and easy-to-use user interface, (ii) support for all GEDCOM 5.5 data tags, (iii) rapid navigation and rapid data entry for the "power user", and (iv) special import and export capabilities for designated custom tags used by other popular genealogy programs.

Despite the wide availability of different GEDCOM programs, very few of the existing products appears to have the ability to support all of the data fields of the GEDCOM 5.5 standard in a standards-compliant manner.  Moreover, many of the existing products provide user interfaces that lean towards "form over function" and do not facilitate intensive data building and data navigation for the "power user" as rapidly as The Complete Genealogy Builder is designed to provide.

The above screenshot is that of the current beta release.  If the main window is sufficiently wide, the Index of Individuals will appear on the right side.  If the main window is sufficiently high, Grand- and Great-Grand- relations will be shown within the Individual and Family frames.  Navigation is achieved by simple clicks on any of the names displayed.  

A click on a family listed in the Individual panel will display that family in the Family panel.  Similarly, a click on an individual listed in the Family panel will display that individual in the Individual panel.  Moreover, a double-click on a husband, wife, or child name will not only show the person in the Individual panel, but simultaneously will show the parental family of the husband/wife, or the spousal family of the child, in the Family panel.  Thus repeated double-clicks in the "Husband" box, for example, will rapidly traverse the male ancestry.
Forward and Back buttons are provided under the Individual and Family frames to traverse the histories of each of these frames so that recent work can be easily revisited.
Free-text search buttons permit easy location of Individuals or Families that match any or all of the specified text elements of the search. 

The Complete Genealogy Builder will fully support the GEDCOM 5.5 standard.  Data fields within the standard that are commonly not supported by many existing programs include:  ALIA (alias), ASSO (associate), PEDI (birth pedigree), ADDR (address), AGNC (agency associated with an event).  A number of existing programs support some of these; very few (if any) support all according to the standard.
Separate Bookmark and Pending lists will be available.  The Bookmarks are essentially "Favorites" and the first of these will be displayed when the program opens a GEDCOM file.  The Pending list is intended to temporarily bookmark the work-in-process so that you may return to complete individual and family details after the structure of a new branch has been created.

The Complete Genealogy Builder will support nests of Sources within Notes and Notes within Sources without limit.
The Complete Genealogy Builder will support additional non-standard data where such data are supported by existing programs and provide useful functionality.  These will be labelled in blue (instead of black) within the program for easy differentiation of standard and non-standard tags.  Examples of such data are image cutouts (as provided by Family Historian and Family Tree Builder) and the designation of "preferred" images (as provided by a number of programs).  When a GEDCOM file is exported by The Complete Genealogy Builder, options will designate how these non-standard tags are to be exported so that they will be exported in a manner that would be understood by the program that is intended to import them.  If the tags would not be understood by the importing program, an associated note will be created to contain them.  In this way, the GEDCOM may be imported and exported by another genealogy program without loss of these tag data and the The Complete Genealogy Builder will be able to recover them from the note when it imports such a GEDCOM file.

The Complete Genealogy Builder is planned to be a valuable companion to The Complete Genealogy Reporter for those users who seek a genealogy program that is able to manage all of the reportable data types without limitation.
