What is Family Gem?
Create your own family tree Family Gem is an app for Android designed to manage family trees. It's completely free and open source.
With Family Gem you can: Create a family tree from scratch, entering names, dates, places, various events, photos and sources. Import an existing family tree through a GEDCOM file and modify it as you want. Export the family tree you created (via GEDCOM again) to import in every other genealogy program. Share a tree with your relatives, letting them improve it and receiving back the updates. Then you can choose whether accept them or not.
Comments and Reviews
On my PC I use Gramps and sometimes Ancestris (each of them can produce different reports). On Android, I tried many apps and Family Gem is the best I tried. It always take some time to import my gedcom (ancestors and related people, that makes about 7400 people). Some other apps did crash.
If you want to try it, do not think it does not work when the home screen takes some time to show. And when you touch the + icon and then choose a gedcom file (in your phone) to import, wait for some thenth of seconds. After that, you will be surprised by the beautifull and very efficient graphical view. You can browse your ancestors rather quickly. Family Gem is an offline app and I prefer that.
