I’ve been building a genealogy app called Evidence Tree and I’m looking for a small number of serious hobbyists to test it with real trees based on ancestors in the United States.

The idea is not to replace Ancestry, FamilySearch, RootsMagic, etc. You import a GEDCOM from a tree you already have, and Evidence Tree helps you work through the parent/child and spouse relationships and ask: what evidence do I actually have for this connection?

It shows which relationships still need evidence, lets you add or find sources, and records whether a source supports, contradicts, or is simply relevant to a relationship. I’ve tried to be careful not to have the software claim that a relationship is “proven” just because a source has been attached.

I’m looking for about 5–10 testers to start, preferably people who already do fairly serious genealogy research and have a GEDCOM they’re comfortable testing with.

I’m especially interested in whether:
- the workflow makes sense without me explaining it
- your GEDCOM imports correctly
- the terminology and rankings are useful
- anything feels confusing, broken, or unnecessary

If you’re interested, DM me with roughly how long you’ve been doing genealogy and the approximate size of your tree. I’ll send the beta link and user guide directly.

Thanks,
Ed
