If you want to create a comprehensive family tree, you must take a huge amount of information into account. There are numerous genealogy applications to choose from, but The Complete Genealogy Builder stands out in a crowd, due to its flexibility and smart functionality. Besides names and years, this appropriately named program allows you to specify events, attributes, source citations and other details, for individual family members. It also provides support for all GEDCOM formats and it can use your provided information to generate professional grade reports.

You have to buy a license if you want to benefit from the software's capabilities, but you can evaluate it for 30 days, without encountering any restricted functions or nag screens. It is compatible with all popular Windows versions, but the most important aspect is the fact that it can export data for many third party genealogy applications.

Relations between family members can be mapped fast and easy, due to the simple design of the interface. When you start a new project, the program will display a blank family tree, in which you can insert two members and their children. Besides creating a new member, you can also link an existing individual. When you create or link a person, the software will automatically create new entries for his or her parents.

Entries for male and female members are colored differently and you may right click them to edit their information, on a separate panel. The program allows you to type general information, like names, nicknames, aliases, but it also allows you to bring up additional panels, on which you can add parents, events, source citations, media files, researchers and more. It is possible to bookmark individual entries and to mark them as pending. If you mark a person as pending, you may add a reminder note. Bookmarks and reminders are displayed on different panels, beneath the family tree, so you can find specific members instantly.

The software's reporter feature can be used to generate a detailed report about the family tree, in PDF format. You can decide to include or exclude a wide range of information, such as an introduction, indexes, charts, media files, relationship paths and more. Depending on your selection, the software will use your inserted details about each person and it will place them on separate pages.

The Complete Genealogy Builder provides many more features, which are too many to count. You can use numerous validation functions, in case your tree contains improbable information. Unlike other similar programs, The Complete Genealogy Builder allows you to build your project in Unicode, ANSI or UTF-8.

Pros

Family members can be added instantly and you may assign a huge amount of information to individual members. The software allows you to save your project in various GEDCOM formats or export it for third party genealogy applications. You can validate information, generate detailed reports and much more.

Cons

There are no serious issues to mention. The Complete Genealogy Builder allows you to illustrate and describe your entire heritage in a simple, fast and comfortable manner.
