GenoPro's spreadsheet includes hyperlinks to navigate between any objects, from parents to children to siblings, or across pictures, places, sources and citations.
GenoPro can display data just like traditional genealogy software. Supporting multiple sub trees is necessary for scaling large family trees containing tens of thousands of individuals. GenoPro creates the necessary hyperlinks to connect the trees. With only two mouse clicks, the user can move an entire branch to another sheet. GenoPro can split a large family tree into many sub-trees and hyperlink them together. With GenoPro, the user can manually customize the layout by positioning the individuals as well as using color to graphically emphasize what he/she feels is important in the family, such as ethnicity, culture, citizenship, education level, religion, political affiliations, and diseases in the case of medical pedigrees. GenoPro’s architecture revolves around the pedigree layout where the user can view the entire genealogy tree at once, including family branches in any direction to illustrate the complex scenarios based on today's reconstructed families. In January 2011, GenoPro 2011 was released. His original idea stemmed from his father's request to design a genogram during his training as a family counselor. GenoPro was created in 1998 by Daniel Morin while studying computer engineering at the University of Waterloo.
