Quick Start

Six short pages that take you from opening uFTi to your first person, with its source and a copy.

• Add your first person
  Make your own workspace and add yourself, or someone you know well.
• Look around
  See what the main menu items show for the person you added.
• Say where you found it
  Add a source to a fact, so you always know why you believe it.
• Keep it safe
  Save a copy of your tree as a file, and keep it somewhere else too.
• What next
  You have a tree, a person, a fact with its source and a copy, so choose where to go from here.

Five things to know

The five ideas behind uFTi, in two minutes.

Bring in, share and keep safe

What your workspace holds, why a GEDZIP file is the one to keep and send, and when a plain family tree file is better.

• Your workspace and its files
  A workspace is your family tree and its linked files, and a GEDZIP file holds all of them in one file.
• Opened files and copies
  On a computer, uFTi works on the file you open, so make a copy first if you want the original left alone.
• Open a family tree file
  Bring a tree from another program, or a copy from a relative, into uFTi.
• Remove a tree from the list
  Take a tree off the Workspaces screen without deleting its file.
• Which file to send
  Send a GEDZIP file to anyone who uses uFTi, and a plain family tree file only to an older program.
• Files beside your tree
  The files you may see beside your tree: the tree itself and its backup.
