GeneWeb is free genealogy software based on the client-server model . It was developed by Daniel de Rauglaudre at the French research institute INRIA .
GeneWeb is based on the Objective CAML programming language .
A daemon serves as the server . This daemon can run both locally on your own computer and on a central computer.
The client is any modern web browser .
This makes GeneWeb suitable both for domestic use for your own family tree and for processing and displaying large amounts of data. Therefore GeneWeb is also used as an engine for e.g. B. Geneanet (a genealogy database) (with more than 300,000,000 people) is used.
An example of direct web-based (read-only) access to a Geneweb database is the Roglo database, which stores more than 5,700,000 personal data.
