What is Clooz?

Clooz is a database for systematically storing all of the clues to your ancestry that you've been collecting over the years. This is not another genealogy program! It is an electronic filing cabinet that assists you with search and retrieval of important facts you've found during the ancestor hunt. Forms available within the program are all U.S. Federal censuses population schedules 1790-1930 (1890 is the Special Veterans’ Schedule), Irish 1901 and 1911 censuses, 1841-1901 United Kingdom censuses, 1852-1911 Canadian censuses, French censuses, Norwegian censuses, Mecklenburg-Schwerin 1819 census, directories, photographs, miscellaneous documents, Irish valuations, correspondence, and people. 

Can I import data from other programs to Clooz?

Clooz allows you to import a GEDCOM from any genealogy program that can create one. At present, you can only import a GEDCOM once into a database. After that, you will need to add additional people manually.

Can I export data from Clooz to other programs?

You can export your data from Clooz in the following formats: Adobe Reader PDF format; Rich Text Format; MS-DOS Text; or Microsoft Excel.

Is there a demo or trial version available for Clooz?

Yes. You can download Clooz 2.1 from here. It's the full version of the program, but is downloaded in demo mode. You can try the program for 30 days or 15 tries.

Can I use Clooz on more than one machine?

The license that comes with Clooz allows the user to put the program on more than one machine owned by that user. Owners of laptops will especially appreciate this, as they will be able to take their databases with them to libraries and archives to avoid duplicate research. The program is only licensed to one user, though, and cannot be shared with other individuals. This is not shareware or freeware. You are purchasing a licensed copy for one user.

What is the customer support policy for Clooz?

Customer support will be provided free of charge to all registered Clooz users. If you are having problems with Clooz, you should first check the Clooz Knowledge Base to see if the problem has been addressed.
