PediTree runs under all current versions of Windows from XP to 11.
 Each database of up to 32,000 related Person, Marriage, Source, Census... files has its own definitions of fields and reports in a data dictionary control file.  There is no limit on the number of different databases. These may be different branches of your family, unrelated one-name lists or temporary databases imported from other systems using GEDCOM.
