What is PhpGedView?
  • PhpGedView (PGV) is an internet based genealogy
    program that you can use to
  • setup your own genealogy website
  • edit your data online
  • collaborate with people working on the same
    family lines
  • also great for surname studies or locality studies

7
  • PGV can do all of the things that a typical
    desktop genealogy program can do, but it runs
    over the internet.
  • It imports and exports GEDCOM files, so it is
    compatible with other genealogy software.

8
PGV Viewing Features
  • PGV includes standard genealogy charts such as
    pedigree, descendant and family group.
  • It also has lists, calendars, PDF reports, and
    several other charts.
  • PGV supports photos, audio, and many other types
    of media.

Collaboration Scenario
  • Suppose you have Aunt Edna who lives in New York
    working on her favorite family lines
  • Uncle Kobi lives in Israel and works on his
    favorite people
  • Leonid in St. Petersburg updates his part of the
    family
  • You live in Utah and work on your favorite lines
  • Give Aunt Edna, Uncle Kobi and Leonid the ability
    to edit online
  • They keep their favorite lines up to date
  • You keep the ability to review new data before it
    goes live on your site

  • PGV can be downloaded for free from the
    http//www.phpgedview.net website.
  • It requires that you have some web-space that
    supports the programming language PHP and it will
    take some technical knowledge to set it up.
  • There are also several hosting services that can
    set it up for you for a nominal fee.

12
Privacy Settings
  • PGV has many privacy functions built into it to
    protect personal information about living people.
  • The default privacy settings will hide the names
    and details of living people from users who are
    not logged into the site.
  • These privacy features can be adjusted by site
    administrators to meet their desired level of
    privacy.
