Manual

After starting GenJ a single window shows a list of all opened Gedcom-files¹⁾.

The buttons at the top of the window let you perform operations like opening or creating a new file. Also shown is a button for each view you can open to discover and work with the information contained in the currently selected Gedcom-file.

There are three main concepts²⁾ that are good to know when exploring GenealogyJ.

• Gedcom is the underlying data structure (“how does this look underneath?”)
• Tag Paths define queries on that structure (“how do I get at stuff?”)
• Context describes what users can do within a logical context they're looking at (“what can I do here?”)
