What's new in Heredis 2021 21.0
Sep 27, 2020
- Dynamic ancestors wheel:
- Edit a wheel chart of your ancestors to visualize a 360° representation of your family tree!
- Color the persons in the wheel either by generation, gender, quarter, by complete or marked persons, so as to highlight the most relevant data from your genealogy file.
- This representation allows you to quickly visualize if any ancestor is missing in any branch.
- Your wheel chart can include up to 12 generations. It can be exported to PDF and then be printed: this is a great-looking ancestors wheel chart to share with your relatives!
- Dead ends:
- A father or mother can’t seem to be found?
- It is not uncommon to come across abandoned children or children born with unknown fathers when doing genealogical research. In most cases, chances of finding out who the parents were are quite slim. You can now categorize such “dead ends” in a quick and easy manner by checking the Untraceable Father and Untraceable Mother boxes. At any moment, you may thus declare these persons as Complete so you can move on and focus on more fruitful researches without wasting additional time in your genealogical endeavors.
- Thanks to this new label, you will see right away whether any ancestor needs to be searched for or not.
- This information can be found in the sheets or even in your GEDCOM file.
- Declare a person as complete:
- Do you know full well that you won’t find any additional information on a given person in your genealogy? You may now indicate that this person is “complete” thanks to the “Declare as complete” label in the Personal Data tab. A huge time saver!

- From now on, you can retrieve indexes created by fellow genealogists or in other Heredis genealogy files. Retrieve his or her entire work on the places, including media, place descriptions, etc. Available for Surnames, Given Names, Occupations, Places and Sources!
