  • How to get started / how to use (or not) paid memberships?
    My technique is to maintain my tree off line in Gramps and do online work in the always free FamilySearch. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

  • What is your personal pet project that you are working on/want to work on?
    I've used https://gramps-project.org/ to find and sometimes to clean up the tree before I started building my own. I'd love to get some suggestions! - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Sites to better visualise family tree
    The Gramps software can do this for you. If you add coordinates to the locations you've entered, it can plot events at that location on the map (for example all births, or all events for certain people). And it lets you draw a radius around the locations too which seems like what you're looking for. It'll be a bit of work to get set up with an imported tree, though. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

    It seems that the Wikipedia article on Gramps genealogy software (i.e. https://gramps-project.org/ ) has been nominated as an article for deletion (see the discussion here). - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
  • The Silly Question Saturday Thread (April 10, 2021)
    Gramps is what I use. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's very customizable so you can take your own notes or record your own kind of events, not just the types of information that comes by default. From the data it can also generate different kinds of family trees or reports. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
