Hello everyone,
Since February 24, 2025, a very detailed article about Ancestris has been published on the Dutch website Yory.nl (
https://www.yory.nl/ancestris-software-geeft-je-volledige-controle-over-je-stamboom/).
It was written in response to another article that once again portrayed Ancestris as a program that has issues with GEDCOM 7. That article warned users to be cautious with Ancestris because problems could arise when importing and/or exporting GEDCOM 7 files.
Of course, this is incorrect. Ancestris may detect issues, but these are caused by the program from which the GEDCOM file originates, and certainly not by Ancestris.
As a response to this, and also because Ancestris is relatively unknown in the Netherlands, I wrote this article.
I am also sharing the article in a few other forum groups, even though it is written in Dutch. Nowadays, there are many ways to translate a webpage, so this should not be a problem.
About the Yory website:Yory.nl is very well known among genealogists in the Netherlands. The site currently contains more than 680 different articles and offers a wealth of additional information, sources, guides, occupation descriptions, and more.
The fact that there is now an article about Ancestris makes me quite proud! Especially because my original text has been almost entirely adopted, including the step-by-step guide with screenshots.
What also makes me very happy is the Ancestris user map, which directly links to the actual online Ancestris user map.
If people still claim that Ancestris is an unknown program…
Therefore, my sincere thanks to Yolanda, the owner of Yory.nl, for adding this article!
Best regards,
Tineke
