Why people look for a GenoPro alternative

GenoPro 2020 is Windows software. GenoPro's FAQ says Mac users run it with CrossOver, Parallels or VMware Fusion and Linux users with Wine, and that GenoProX, a native Mac app, is still in development. On a MacBook, that is one more program to install and set up before GenoPro can be opened.

GenoPro can be used free and unregistered with up to 25 individuals. With a 14-day trial key you have the full program, and after the trial the limit of 25 individuals applies again until you buy a license for $49 per user. A free 180-day key is available for school projects.

GenoPro's AutoArrange help says the command must be used with caution, because it may produce overlapping trees and long horizontal lines, and that smaller branches should be selected rather than the entire GenoMap. GenoPro's site documents no AI features. In Genogram Pro, the whole family is arranged by generation in one click, and on the Professional plan a genogram can be drafted or edited from typed notes with the AI assistant.

GenoPro is still the better choice for some people. Choose GenoPro if you work on Windows, prefer a one-time $49 license to a subscription, or want its household outlines, Medical History Panel and HTML reports.

Move a genogram from GenoPro

GEDCOM import in Genogram Pro is part of the Professional plan and its 7-day trial, so a family can be brought across from GenoPro without retyping it.

In GenoPro, open the genogram and export it as a GEDCOM (.ged) file from the File menu.
In Genogram Pro, open Import and add the .ged file. Before the import, you can choose the index person and how many generations above them to include.
Check the imported genogram, which is arranged by generation, and add what GEDCOM has no place for.

These details are read from the GEDCOM file:

Names and sexes, with birth and death dates
Parents and children, including adopted and foster children when they are marked as such in the file
Marriages, divorces, separations and engagements, with their dates
Facts such as occupation, education and residence

What you redraw after import

GEDCOM is a genealogy format with no standard place for emotional relationships, medical conditions or households.

After the import, you add:

Emotional relationships, from 39 bond types such as close, fused, hostile and cutoff
Medical conditions, from 16 built-in conditions or your own, each with a color and an onset date
Households, drawn as an outline around their members

On the Professional plan, you can also describe these to the AI assistant in a sentence or two and check its changes on the genogram.

Drawing a genogram in Genogram Pro

: A couple line can be a marriage, a divorce, a cohabitation or any other of the 25 couple types, and a child line is drawn for a biological, adopted or foster child, all in McGoldrick and Gerson notation.
: There are 39 bond line types for closeness, conflict, cutoff, caretaking and other patterns, and each color-coded condition is drawn as a filled section of the person's symbol.
: A PNG or PDF export can include a key of only the symbols and lines on the genogram, so a reader can follow the notation without a separate legend.
