The spark for creating Evidentree came from a genealogy Facebook group that Greg (pictured) helps to run: ‘The admins were struggling to manage lists of users’ research interests; names and places. The process was cumbersome enough for the admins, let alone the users. So users posted repeated and duplicate requests that probably weren’t being seen by the right people.’
With his background in libraries and IT, and his years of researching his own family history, Greg knew there had to be a better way to manage this and so he started building what is now known as Evidentree.
