About Betty#
Philosophy#
Betty builds sites that tell a story. Raw family data is visualized in different, sometimes interactive ways. Additional information is added automatically from a variety of third-party sources, augmenting your family trees with further encyclopedic information, imagery, and maps.
Name#
Betty was named after Liberta “Betty” Lankester, grandmother to the original project author.
What is Betty not?#
Betty does not help you gather or manage the data for your family history. For that purpose, use a product such as Gramps, or a service like Ancestry.com.
