Guntis Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Perhaps it would be nice to have genealogy charts where I could see who is ancestor of whom, in 2D and 3D. And set how many levels of ancestors / descendants I'd like to see. Something similar to how MacFamilyTree shows those charts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've got both MacFamilyTree and Family Tree Maker (genealogy is yet another hobby I don't have time for). I've often thought it might be an interesting experience to create trees based on the relations in the Bible. I especially like the 3D mode in MacFamilyTree. I imagine this would make a good teaching tool. And I realize that a competitor has a family tree feature built into their software, but I've never been impressed with the results; and I've found their charts not conducive for teaching purposes.

JonathanHuber Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I don't have any software, Bible or otherwise, that does this, but I've wished for this feature on numerous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I suppose I should have already guessed that's it's been done, but I found a website that has gedcom files (which work in any genealogy program) for biblical characters, Babylonian gods, Greek gods, and more. I imported the biblical gedcom file into MacFamilyTree and here are the results: I don't know how extensive it is, the dates given to figures would certainly be debatable, and I've already found a couple of mistakes, but I suppose it beats reinventing the wheel. The website can be found here: http://famousfamilyt...m-ged-file.html Edited November 9, 2012 by R. Mansfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
