!Family is a Genealogy database (GEDCOM) editor and browser for the RISC OS desktop

This screenbook describes !Family version 2.25, though the screen shots are a mixture of !Family 2.24 and X!Family 0.11. Some features are mentioned which are not yet implemented, and the !Family user interface is evolving towards that of X!Family (hence the mix of screenshots). This will all get less confusing as the interfaces stabilise over the next few months.
