Alternative to: ancestry, myheritage, familysearch
v26.7.1
2026-07-28New Features :sparkles:
This release adds two features for managing family tree data.
Restore from Backup
The new restore from backup feature (located in the danger zone sections of the admin settings) allows restoring a family tree to the exact state of an uploaded Gramps XML file. Since this is a potentially dangerous operation (if you restore to an empty file, all your data will be deleted), you will get a preview of the number of objects that will be added, updated, or deleted before confirming the operation.
Implemented by @DavidMStraub in https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/pull/1311
Import Preview
While an import never deletes objects, it can also lead to unpleasant surprises such as duplicates. To reduce the likelihood of suprises, the import button now also has a preview feature that shows the number of objects that will be added.
