GenoPro represents individuals, families, and emotional ties with an extensive symbol set and lets you attach photos, occupations, places, and sources to each profile for deep narrative context.
What is a genogram in GenoPro and how to create one? The workflow centers on drawing people and family relationships, then layering medical conditions and emotional links using standardized shapes and line styles.
GenoPro key features and interpretations
Visual grammar and semantics: squares/circles for gender, patterned fills for medical conditions, explicit markers for unions, divorces, separations, and complex emotional ties help translate family dynamics into analysis-ready maps.
Flexible canvases (GenoMaps): segment sprawling trees into named subtrees to keep navigation fast. When branches overlap, move them to another GenoMap for clarity.
Data richness: store photos, places, sources, education, and occupations per person to support rigorous research and storytelling in a single project file.
Import/export: “How do I import a GEDCOM file into GenoPro without losing relationships?”. The application supports targeted imports by XREF, ancestors/descendants, radius by generations, and exports via the Report Generator.
Large‑tree handling: version notes include performance work for very large graphs and UI tweaks that keep navigation responsive as projects grow past tens of thousands of individuals.
Learning resources: practical videos cover importing data and generating HTML reports so you can quickly produce shareable outputs.
