GeneWeb
Most family trees sit inside a single desktop file that only one relative can open, but GeneWeb publishes the whole tree on the web as an interactive site the entire family can browse and grow together. One lightweight server hosts as many genealogical databases as you like, and every page is generated on demand from the data itself, so edits appear instantly without rebuilding static files. Each person page gathers births, marriages, deaths, and other events with exact dates, witnesses, notes, and sources, giving every fact in the tree a documented trail back to its evidence. Trees arrive and leave in the standard GEDCOM format or in GeneWeb's own compact format, and details that do not fit the import land safely in notes instead of being discarded. The built-in relationship calculator traces the exact link between any two people in the database, even through billions of possible paths, and its consanguinity rates reveal how closely related spouses really were. Searching follows real research habits: names match across spelling variations, women are found by their maiden names, and nobility titles appear on a chronological timeline. Privacy comes built in through password accounts: friends can view private data, wizards can edit it, and visibility rules can hide everyone born within the last hundred years automatically. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
