I would like to become a member for the simple and good reason that I have been using Ancestris for about a year, and after having used Hérédis and various genealogy sites at the same time, I find the design of the program and the help received on the forum to be the best without imposing any payment. (February 2023)

I installed Ancestris for a little over 2 years now and I am absolutely delighted! I hadn't taken the time to place myself on the map, that's it! Thank you very much for this magnificent tool and the investment of the whole team to make it evolve as well as the content of the website, a mine of information!! (June 2020)

A week of Ancestris and I realize the damage to my GEDCOM
after 15 years of using Geneatique.
Frankly, what a pleasure to regain control of my data!
The GEDCOM editor has become my friend... (January 2021)

I am enthusiastic about your software, and more and more,
as I discover all of its many possibilities.
I'm going to take this opportunity to revisit my genealogy, which has been left hanging for some time,
and bring it up to date thanks to Ancestris. (Nov 2020)

Even more than before, I will not fail to promote Ancestris.
You have demonstrated that Ancestris is not just a simple free genealogy software, it is above all a team of professionals, confident and benevolent.

I've been using Ancestris since version 9 after having used Geneatique, Heredis, Gramps and so on.
For me, it's the best.
Ancestris is also managed by a powerful and very responsive team, which, with the members of the list, makes it possible not to leave a problem for long without a solution. (April 2020)
