Gramps Web
Open source online genealogy system
Alternative to: ancestry, myheritage, familysearch
v25.12.0
2025-12-20Yet another Gramps Web release in a feature-packed year 🎄
External search 🔎
The highlight in this release is the new external search feature. It adds a button in the person view that offers a selection of external genealogical repositories to search for the person’s details. Inspired by Gramps desktop’s web connect addon, it currently includes the providers CompGen, FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, Geneanet, WikiTree, and Find a Grave.
Users can easily hide the providers they don’t need and can add custom providers by entering a search URL with template variables.

Improved keyboard shortcuts ⌨️
The new keyboard shortcut e allows to quickly toggle the edit mode in any of the primary object (e.g. person) views. In addition to pressing the ? key, the documentation of available keyboard shortcuts can now also be found on the help page added in v25.11.0.
