Hello everyone,

I hope someone here can help me.

Around 2007, I spent many months creating my family's genealogy using GenoPro. It became much more than a family tree: each person had photographs, personal notes, important life events, medical history, and many details that had been carefully collected from conversations with my relatives over many years.

Unfortunately, after all this time I no longer have access to my account. I don't remember my username, password, or even the email address I used back then. Over the years, computers were replaced, hard drives failed, and I believed everything had been lost forever.

The only thing I managed to keep is a printed copy of the family tree. The structure of the tree is there, but all the information stored inside each person's profile—the photos, notes, medical information, and family stories—is missing.

I have recently decided to rebuild my family tree, but it has become especially emotional because, since I created it, my father and my grandmother have both passed away. I would have loved to preserve their memories exactly as I had recorded them years ago, and it is heartbreaking to think that all of that information may be gone.

I know this is a very long shot, but I am wondering whether there is any possibility that GenoPro still has archives, backups, or any way to help recover my old project.

Although I cannot log into the original account, I can provide a great deal of information to prove that the tree is mine, including:

  • My full name.

  • Names, dates, and relationships of many family members.

  • A scanned copy of the printed family tree created with GenoPro.

  • Any other information that could help verify ownership.

If anyone from the GenoPro team or the community has any suggestions, advice, or knows whether recovery is even remotely possible, I would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message. Recovering this tree would mean far more than recovering a file—it would mean recovering an important part of my family's history.

Kind regards,

Eduard

Hi Eduard,

Sadly there is nothing that can be done to recover your data unless you used GenoPro's Online Backup feature or published a family tree report to the web site familytrees.genopro.com.

All .gno files are stored locally on your PC disc drives so unless you were diligent and created backups of theses files or still have those disc drives the data is lost. Even so it may worthwhile searching for any .gno file on your drives or any backups you may have. 

Even if you used GenoPro's Online Backup then this would not include photos and other documents referenced in the .gno file.

Your GenoPro username/password/email would allow you to recover your registration key to re-install GenoPro.exe and save your new data but that's about all.

If you do start to record your family history again please please take regular backups of your .gno files and photos and other documents. Backup to either a portable hard drive that can be stored safely away from your PC or use cloud storage such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or DropBox. 

GenoPro use the file path (either relative or absolute) of photos to locate them, so be aware that if you relocate photos on your disc then you will need to update the paths in your .gno file. 

I have written a Report Template Skin {EN} Photo Consolidator that copies your .gno and all referenced photos to a single folder making it easier to backup or copy all photos related to your family tree.
