Yes - maybe Pollux can help, but I think, you could do it also in english. Most Germans speak English at least a little bit. Its part of the standard school education of everybody. So it should be no problem.
If there are nevertheless any translation problems, I also could help.

Thank you very much!

I think, it would be better, if you (or somebody else) could make a post in the German forum. I know nearly nothing about ancestris. If there will come any questions about it, I can´t give any answers.
Here is a list to genealogy-software, that is referred to quite often in the forum.

As you can see - "ancestris" is not listed. Even if you search for "ancestris" in the forum, you will find almost no posts.
I think it would make sense if someone who really knows the program, could briefly introduce it and at the same time ask for a translator.

Hello Zurga!

Thank you very much, for your quick answer. I will have a look at the program and try it.

Unfortunatelly my english is not the best and also I am very busy at the moment - so I have no time and no possibility to do a translation. But you could try to find somebody in Germany by posting a request in the very frequented german forum forum.ahnenforschung.net . I think, that would make the program more famous in Germany too.

ENGLISH / Ancestris and privacy?

« on: January 06, 2021, 07:25:25 »

Hello!

I'm a genealogist from Germany and always interested in good software.

Today I discovered Ancestris. The program looks very interesting and I would like to try it. Unfortunatelly there is no German version. That may be a reason, why the program seems to be quite unknown in Germany. At least I have the impression, that it is.

However, there is one thing that is stopping me from installing it. I can't find any information anywhere on how the program handles my privacy. Can Ancestrys view the data I open, edit or save in the program? Or will the data only stay on my private hard drive? Where can I find information about the privacy of the program? And is the software code publicly available?

Would be great to hear from you.

Yours,

Michl
