HuMo-gen is a mature, feature-laden, open source web-based genealogy program. This software makes it easy to publish genealogical data on the internet as a dynamic and searchable family tree website.
The software is particularly strong in generating reports. HuMo-gen is installed on a web server and uses a MySQL database to store the genealogical data.
