ScionPC is a free and portable genealogy app with a modern, easy-to-use interface, ideal for both the novice and the experienced genealogist.

Its focus is the simple entry and clear display of family information.

Databases from other family tree programs can be imported into ScionPC using its GEDCOM import facility. Just export your data from your old application as a GEDCOM file and then import that file into ScionPC - it's that easy.

ScionPC uses a fully-documented, "open" XML database file format - don't be locked into a proprietary file system.

The program has been written in a secular manner, has no checking on sex (to allow for "unconventional" relationships), and has no naming constraints (to allow for adopted children). The partners of a family group (or marriage/union) are referred to as "Prime" and "Partner" rather than "Husband & Wife" or "Father & Mother." Either partner can be the Prime.

Free-form notes and sources can be created and viewed, and any files may be attached to any person or family.

Other features include user-defined facts, dynamic on-screen ancestor and descendant charts, extensive on-line help, and powerful searching and filtering. View the full list of program features and some screenshots of the program.

One of the best things about ScionPc is the ability to keep it on a flash or external drive. Unlike other programs that require installations and backup or work only online, ScionPC allows you to easily back it up and take it anywhere with you.
