MnemoRoots

Your family tree from a GEDCOM file, with your own notes on each person.

Open a .ged file. The tree shows one person at the centre, ancestors above and descendants below. Click a name to recentre on it.

The cartridge id is @mnemosyne-plugins/mnemo-roots. The tree is drawn by topola, by Przemek Wiech, under the Apache License 2.0.

Open a tree​

Press Open a GEDCOM file and pick a .ged file. The header counts the people and families. Other file opens another one. Find a person searches by name.

The last tree opened is kept in the window's storage for the next opening, up to 2 million characters. A larger tree is opened again from its file.

Older files encoded in ANSEL are read as latin-1. Accented letters may be wrong, and the screen says so.

A person's card​

Click a name to open the card:

  • Born and Died, with date and place. Dates read as "about", "before", "between" when the file says so.
  • Parents, Spouses, Children and Siblings.
  • In the file: the notes the GEDCOM file carries.
  • What I know: your own notes. Type a memory, a date, a place, then press Keep.

The tree cannot be edited.

Where your data goes​

  • MnemoRoots makes no network request.
  • The tree file is read once, when you pick it. A copy stays in the window's storage, living people included. This version has no button to clear it.
  • Each note under What I know becomes one chronicle in MnemoRoots's own vault, tagged with the person's GEDCOM id, name and years. That vault stays apart from the rest of your memory until you open it in the vault manager.

Notes are tied to the GEDCOM id. If another program exports the same tree with other ids, the notes will not find their person.
