The Master Genealogist (TMG) is genealogy software for Microsoft Windows first released in 1993[1] by Bob Velke. Data entry can be customized through the use of user-defined events, names, and relationship types.

Contents

Features

  • Information is displayed like a spreadsheet.
  • Allows the user to record conflicting information, instead of being restricted to deciding which piece of evidence is correct.
  • Can import from a standard GEDCOM file. Its GenBridge recognises many common genealogy data format files from other programs and imports genealogical data directly into TMG. This minimizes the loss of data when transferred from other software.[2]

Source types

The default source types in the standard edition are based on Wholly Genes' interpretation of Elizabeth Shown Mills's Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian.[3] Source templates based upon Wholly Genes' interpretation of the source types in Richard S. Lackey's Cite Your Sources[4] are also provided. The source templates in the UK edition are based on designs by Caroline Gurney for sources commonly encountered in the United Kingdom.[5]

Languages available

English (US), English (UK), German, Dutch, Norwegian, French, Italian and Afrikaans.[citation needed]

File format

TMG's underlying database engine is Visual FoxPro v9. and does not support Unicode.

  1. File Structures for (TMG) for DOS and Windows v3.6
  2. TMG File Structure - Applicable to TMG v3.x, v4.x, v5.x, v6.x, v7.x

Migration from TMG

Because of the underlying database structure of TMG, it is not possible to perform a complete GEDCOM export. In particular, witness data is not exported.

Non GEDCOM exports of TMG

The following advanced options, apart from GEDCOM transfer are available:

  1. tmg2gramps Converts TMG 6 datafiles to a GRAMPS v2.2.6 XML - by Anne Jessel.
  2. Forays Into Genealogy Data Base Modelling - Details how Leif Biberg Kristensen moved his data out of TMG into a program of his own creation [46].

Platforms

TMG was designed to run on the Windows platform, however some users run TMG on Macintosh and Linux machines.[65] Running TMG on a Macintosh requires special software such as Parallels, or Virtual PC for older non-Intel Macs. TMG runs on Linux with Wine.[66]
