ANNIVERSARY Version
Heredis 2025
Heredis 2025 is the version marking the 30th anniversary of the software with more than 30 innovations! An ANNIVERSARY version to celebrate this milestone.
WHAT IS NEW?
Heredis 2025 is, by far, the most extensive upgrade we’ve ever released for our genealogy software. The 2025 version includes more than 30 innovations. Almost every section of the application has been significantly improved: new features everyone was looking forward to, novelties features pioneered by Heredis, improvements to make your life easier, improvements imagined by our users.
Label people, guilt free!
Flags
Go ahead and mark persons, events, media, facts with flags in your genealogy.
Privacy
Each flag that has been defined as a “Private flag” will not be transferred during an export. Hence you can work in total privacy when you need to.
A flag for each and every thing you can think of!
This is a new feature you were all waiting for!
These little colored dots will totally revamp your genealogy organization system.
Use the flags to color and visualize at a glance what is important to you in the Immediate Family, the XXL Family, in wheels, sheets, reports…
Create with no limits!
Flags are fully customizable so you are free to organize your data and plan your work according to topics that are relevant to you and to your genealogy.
Some examples include tagging all the persons who took part in WW1, or those who carry a genetic disease such as hemophilia, or even using flags to trace back changes in religion generation after generation, or to highlight any specifics shared by a group of persons, events, etc.
Flags in action
Don’t leave them in a remote corner!
Detect isolated branches
With a single click, you’ll have before you the list of all isolated persons and branches in your file.
Tag them or create a separate file for later processing. Edit the list of all these persons for deeper analysis. Or, if you are sure that these persons are duplicates or cannot be linked to the primary person’s branch, clean up your file by deleting them.
Many happy returns of the day!
Heredis’ 30th anniversary is not the only event to celebrate! Check for today’s birthdays among your genealogy’s contemporaries, and for upcoming birthdays too. Never miss another significant milestone again!
Location Trees
Location trees allow you to highlight your ancestors’ birthplaces, and – starting with this version – their marriage and death places!
New types of events
Whether you are dealing with estates or notarial records, Heredis now offers specifically designed items (“succession deed” and “notarial deed”) for these events. A way to make your ancestors’ lives more complete, filling up gaps in their timeline!
And also...
In addition, a number of other improvements have been developed specifically for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms…

What users are saying about Heredis 2025
I think the new version is great. No errors found at the moment.
The color labels are the best new feature this year. They help to create different lists.
Hermann
Indeed, like previous years, I think the new version is beautiful. The many innovations and adjustments such as : smart search, birthday widget, alternate names and so many new functions. The amount of work you put into it is innumerable. Hopefully we will be there again next year.
Gui
The new version is great – I still found one error and wait on the result on the gedcom import issue still but apart of this is all ok. Color coding offers a lot of new opportunities.
HenrikR
I have been using Heredis for several years now and this time I am particularly pleased about the isolated branches and the color labels.
Heredis is for me one of the best comprehensive genealogy programs and despite the many functions, which could possibly overwhelm a newcomer at the beginning, the clarity of the data or functions is still a super big plus and so far incomparable.
Therefore, once again, a big thank you to everyone, especially to the programmers and the patience when we have reported things.
Juba
… the new features are nice additions.
The Isolated Branches tool is very useful for checking the databases. Flags allow you to combine persons and events and make further research easier.
Will
Heredis remains my favorite application for processing my family trees (yes, I do multiple of those). Heredis was already offering features such as working with witnesses, shared events among people and untraceable parents that really helped out in finding missing links between individuals.
New features of Heredis 2025 such as labels keep on adding tools for those that want to dig deeper in their data. Other features provide a smoother user interface or allow to customize data viewing or processing to the personal taste and need.
