History

The Beginning (2001-2008)

Ahnenblatt started 2001 as a free software and was available on a webpage in German language only.[8]

There are also portable versions to use Ahnenblatt from a USB stick.

Internationalization (2008 - 2019)

With release 2.50 Ahnenblatt began to be multi-lingual. Since then Ahnenblatt is available in 24 languages.

At the same time a branded free version of Ahnenblatt called "its our tree - Home Edition"[9] was published for genealogy network verwandt.de[10] by OSN GmbH. This branded version of Ahnenblatt was given up in 2010 when OSN was acquired by MyHeritage.[11][12]

With version 2.99 Ahnenblatt integrated internet search at online genealogy platform MyHeritage.[13]

Commercial (since 2019)

While free software Ahnenblatt 2.99 is still available, in March 2019 a commercial version 3 was released with extended data features[14]
