Welcome to TUFaT!

TUFaT is the namesake for TUFaT.com, the $5 Script Archive. It was the very first script that I ever distributed to the general public in this form, and since its initial release in 1999 has grown substantially. The current version supports family event management, information hiding, advanced import and backup tools, advanced tree views, and many other features.

The idea of TUFaT is that you can create your family tree dynamically on the Web, rather than being "Windows-bound", as you are with most genealogy software. Even advanced titles like Personal Ancestral File and Family Tree Maker, which have web components, only permit you to upload static HTML versions of your family tree to a website. To make your family tree truly dynamic, whereby anyone in the world can add to it (presuming that you've provided the necessary login codes to them), the system must be script-based. TUFaT uses the popular PHP/MySQL combination to accomplish this.

More documentation is always being added for TUFaT, so if you don't see the topic that you're interested in below, it will likely be added soon!

TUFaT was created by Darren G Gates, and is intended for sole distribution at TUFaT.com, the $5 Script Archive. You should not re-sell or re-distribute TUFaT. Upgrades are always free on the $5 Script Archive, and can be gotten from the TUFaT.com Download Area.

Good luck!
