What is Rodovid?

Rodovid's family tree maker is probably the most advanced Web-based technology to date, especially in terms of its ability to generate very large trees containing dozens of generations and thousands of people. It is far beyond the capabilities of any computer-based family tree makers and Web-based technologies from paid websites. There is no need to pay money for creating and sharing your family tree when you have Rodovid!

Rodovid is powered by the MediaWiki content management system (the same used by Wikipedia), so anyone familiar with the system can work on Rodovid easily.

More detailed information about Rodovid is available at the About Rodovid page.

Membership

To get an account, send a message to : en.rodovid@gmail.com
That note must include :

  • The user name you have chosen
  • The main language you want to use (if it's not English)
  • Maybe a few words explaining your intent (just to ensure that you are not a spam engine)

The creation of your account will be registered here, and you will receive a message with a computer-generated password at your e-mail address. For example, addresses from Yahoo, Aol or Gmx work well. (Important notice : Gmail (since December 2021) and Hotmail / Outlook reject confirmation messages sent by Rodovid, so these addresses cannot be used for the creation of accounts.)

If you know someone who is already a member of Rodovid, you can ask that person to create for you a new account with that page in English (see the left side of that page to get the registration form in other languages). All that's needed is to write the username you want and an E-mail address, before clicking on the button "by e-mail".

Option to copy-paste records of Gedcom files to Rodovid : see that page.

First steps

For new users Rodovid may look quite difficult, but it is based on a strong system.

We advise for first-time visitors to:

  • read Help to learn how to get started
  • test the functionality of Rodovid at the Engine site (and only there, please)
  • Sign up on Rodovid for the usability and functionality benefits of registered users
  • Start your tree—but search carefully for the person you wish to enter first. Rodovid has such a large database that we just might have this person already!

You can always find a tip or ask an administrator for help!
