GEDSpy is still in the test phase.  You can download an alpha test version by clicking one of the download buttons below.

The test versions have built-in expiration dates and are full-function until that time.  Once a test version expires, you will need to obtain a new copy in order to continue using it.

Current version:  0.9c alpha with G3 Technology. 
This version expires:  15 May 2028.

A Help file is included in the download.  The HELP file is slightly out of date, being compatable with version 0.6q.  If you have questions on versions after the latest help file, please email me.

Please report any problems, comments or suggestions via email by using the button on the support page.




       


The Installer uses a standard Windows install wizard.  The Zip version contains the same files, but in Zip format so you can extract them where ever you'd like.  GEDSpy can be run from a USB Flash drive.

Once GEDSpy is ready for prime-time (which won't be for quite a while), it will have a 30-Day trial period where it can be used to determine if it is suitable for your needs.  After the 30 day trial period is over, GEDSpy will no longer work and will need to be registered.  This page will be changed when GEDSpy is ready for to make its debut.
