3) GIGATREES
What is Gigatrees?Gigatrees is a free genealogy application that can be used to build a complete family tree website from your GEDCOM file, creating either static or dynamic web pages for both offline and online viewing. Gigatrees can also be used to generate standalone reports, including a GEDCOM Validation report and a Data Validation report.
Gigatrees runs under Microsoft Windows only. It will not run under MacOS, Linux, Android, IOS, or any other operating system. Gigatrees includes two execuatables, an application interface (AI) built using FormType and a command line interface (CLI). The application interface is used to load, modify and save configuration files and to launch the CLI. For advanced uses, the CLI can run independantly of the application interface. The application interface includes detailed descriptions for each option, which can be viewed when clicking on the option name. These built-in descriptions replace much of the online documentation.

6) Barbara's Registration Webpages
This Web site aims to help people tracing their family history by explaining the usage of the different entries on birth, marriage, and death certificates throughout the history of birth registration in England and Wales. The entries on the certificate and their interpretation has to have changed over the past 150 years, and the interpretation of certificates without knowledge of the legal requirements and practices of the period when the registration was made can sometimes be difficult. The birth registrations of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Southern Ireland are different from those of England and Wales and are not covered here.
