GedWise 6.2

Take your entire genealogy database with you whenever and wherever you go! GedWise allows you to transfer a copy of your genealogy data from your personal computer to any handheld device running the Palm Operating System. This transfer is accomplished by using a standard GEDCOM 5.5 file that is created by your PC-based genealogy software. GedWise converts this GEDCOM file into a database that can be read and displayed by your handheld device using the GedWise Viewer application.
The GedWise package consists of two components: 1) a PC-based program that processes a GEDCOM 5.5 file and converts it to a GedWise-format database; and 2) a program that resides on your handheld device that allows you to view your GedWise database(s).
Benefits and Features
GedWise is unparalleled in its ability to incorporate nearly all of your GEDCOM genealogy information into a handheld database. This database can include:

Multiple alias names. You can even view a list of all alias names for a selected individual.
