What is uFTi

uFTi is a program to take genealogical data from a wide range of programs in GEDCOM format. The data is stored in a relational database and can be exported to the World Wide Web for publishing your research on the internet.

uFTi is being developed inline with the GENWEBTM project, a project aiming to link pages of genealogical research using the Internet.

uFTi is available free of charge, however copyright remains with © 1995, 1996 Oughtibridge Ltd. You are not allowed to alter the output of uFTi and are required to register your use of uFTi by sending email to:

Currently uFTi is only available from CompuServe's Genealogy Forum - GO ROOTS

uFTi has being tested with data from a number of programs, including PAF and Brothers Keeper.

No two programs write identical GEDCOM. If you find problems with GEDCOM files from your program, please eMail a small data file direct to Oughtibridge Ltd.

For example, it takes 1 second to generate a typical page using Windows 95 and 12Mb whereas it takes 5 seconds with 8Mb.
