KinQuest®
------------ for genealogical research

Orelle Corporation offers two shareware programs for genealogists. You can download either of them directly from this page. You may also choose to download only the smaller documentation files so that you can read more about the programs before you download them. :

KinQuest -

This is a database program for holding the names you collect, the relationships to other people and references to the documentary evidence you keep. In the language of genealogists, this is a lineage linked database. KinQuest will hold up to 2 billion names. There is no limit to the number of marriages per person or the number of children per union. Searches are possible by first, middle, or last name, or by a number of vital statistics (e.g. birth place or date). Movement around the database allows jumps to names of relatives and navigation through an on line ancestor chart. Printed reports include blank forms for family histories, printed family reports, ancestor charts and last name master lists. KinQuest runs on MS-DOS (version 3.2 or later) and requires 640K of basic RAM. Printing is Epson compatible only. Registration price is $79.00.

GCFiler -

this is a utility program for genealogists who must store or read genealogies that are kept in the GEDCOM file format. GCFiler will take a file in GEDCOM format and convert it to comma-delimited ASCII for importing into spreadsheets and databases. The program will also convert the ASCII file back into GEDCOM format. There is also a simple editor for viewing and changing any file. NOTE: this program does not check the content of any GEDCOM file beyond looking at the required basic GEDCOM structure. GCFiler does not check to see if the data you may have added or deleted conforms to the rules of grammar for GEDCOM files. Computer requirements are the same as for KinQuest (see above). Registration prices is $15.00.

You are encouraged to try the program at no cost to you except for the downloading time. Then, if you want to keep the program and use it, merely send the registration price to Orelle.
