Progeny Genealogy Inc: Specialists in Family Tree Software

Progeny Genealogy is the leading developer of family tree software that works directly with most popular genealogy database programs. Founded in 1995, Progeny's mission is to develop useful and easy-to-use genealogy research resources.

The company is currently focused on marketing three family tree software products that allow users to create various types of genealogy charts:

  • Charting Companion™ and Progeny 3D Family Tree offer a complete solution for viewing, printing and publishing colorful, customized family tree charts that surpass those provided by any genealogy database program.
  • Genelines™ creates unique timeline charts that show an individual or family lineage against a backdrop of historical world or family events.
  • Map My Family Tree™ shows the geographical distribution and migration patterns that shaped the family's history.

Charting Companion creates what is considered the more standard genealogy charts and reports, but it creates more and better charts, and allows more formatting and color control than is available from genealogy database programs. Genelines timeline software and Map My Family Tree are unique in their presentation of family tree data – providing visual storytelling and powerful research tools not available in most genealogy programs.

In addition to these family tree software programs, Progeny produces several family history research CDs and two software research utilities to assist the genealogy enthusiast. The family research CDs also contain a proprietary search and charting interface called the Progeny Family Explorer, which allows users to create most of the same family tree charts as the Charting Companion product.

Progeny Genealogy Inc. was founded by current CEO Pierre Clouthier and a business partner in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1995. Since its beginning, Progeny has established a reputation for quality and integrity, and enjoys amicable relationships with both large and small players in the genealogy marketplace. Progeny's software has been bundled with or incorporated into products published by such high-profile companies as Ancestry.com, Corel, Mindscape, The Learning Company, as well as the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Progeny's products are distributed internationally by a network of genealogy dealers in the US, Canada and overseas.

Corporate Head Office for Progeny Genealogy is located in New Minas, Nova Scotia, Canada.
