The Registry: searching your archive

Sooner or later a question comes up that no tree can answer: which people are still missing a birth date? which sources does nobody cite? who do I have in Kraków before 1850? That's what the Registry (Ctrl+8) is for — your whole archive as one searchable table.

Four registers

At the top you pick what you're browsing: People, Places, Sources or the Research log. Each register has its own fields and its own ready-made queries.

Ready-made queries

A row of buttons with a genealogist's most common questions: people with no birth date, with no source at all, with no parents, marked uncertain; places with no coordinates; sources nobody cites; open research questions. One click and the table is there — before a trip to the archives, there's no faster review of the gaps.

Your own filters

Click + Condition and ask in plain terms: "Where birth place contains Kraków AND birth date before 1850". You chain conditions with the AND/OR pill between the rows, and + Group adds parentheses — with negation of a whole group included. Underneath, the app spells out the whole expression live, so you always see what you're really asking.

A table under your control

You pick the columns: add "Birth date" and "Death place", drop what you don't need. Sort by any column, group — by surname, source category or lifespan, say — and clicking a row opens the person, place or source where they live.

Save it and come back

Save a favourite question under your own name and it waits next to the presets. CSV export hands the current table to a spreadsheet, and Split puts two queries side by side when you want to compare.

Shortcuts from the panels

The People, Places, Sources and Research log panels all end with a "Detailed search →" footer — it opens the Registry already narrowed to the right register.

The Registry is part of the PRO pack — you can try it in the app during the free 30 days.
