Agelong Tree is a program for building family trees, for storing and displaying information about people and events in their lives, for storing texts, photos, audios and video records connected to them. You can enter information about relatives, and Agelong Tree builds family trees or lineage lists for any chosen person. Go to the page About Agelong Tree to see a brief list of the program features.

Agelong Tree stores data only on your computer, no data is sent to the Internet.The information is stored in .at5 file, it is data file. Photos and other added document files are copied to a documents folder named *.files where * - name of the data file. When you need to move the data file, the documents folder must be moved too.

Agelong Tree automatically suggests creating an archived backup copy to prevent data loss. Once you have created an archived copy of the data, Agelong Tree regularly suggests creating a new backup copy of the data. The backup zip archive contains the data file and the documents folder with all documents, photos etc. We strongly recommend to save the archive on an external disc or in a cloud storage, it will help to restore the data in case of computer breakdown.
