PhpGedView is a free PHP-based web application for working with genealogy data on the Internet. The project was founded and is headed by John Finlay.[http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php?title=What_is_PhpGedView PhpGedView - PGVWiki:History]- "I decided to develop PhpGedView because I wanted to update the genealogy area on my web site and decided to look around for a dynamic GEDCOM to HTML converter. I looked at few programs, but was sadly disappointed at the design and layout of them. This led me to begin creating my own. I soon released the first version on SourceForge in June 2002.– John Finlay"[http://announcements.eogn.com/2006/04/neumont_univers.html EOGN's Announcements: Neumont University offers free PhpGedView:April 19, 2006] - "Neumont University instructor John Finlay graduated in Computer Engineering from Brigham Young University and worked in the BYU Harold B. Lee Library Information Systems Department for three years as a web developer. In June 2002, he founded the Open Source genealogy project, PhpGedView." It is licensed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.

PhpGedView is hosted on SourceForge, where it was Project of the Month in December 2003.[http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2003-12.php Project of the Month] - SourceForge Project of the Month in December 2003 It is a widely used interactive online genealogy application, with over 1600 registered sites as of November, 2008.[http://registry.phpgedview.net/index.php Sites Using PhpGedView] - List of all registered sites running PhpGedView. On June 26, 2006, the PhpGedView site announced that PhpGedView was the most active project at Sourceforge.[http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=585570 SourceForge.net: PhpGedView #1 Most Active] It was also second most active in July, 2006.[http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=55456&ugn=phpgedview&type=&mode=alltime SourceForge.net: Project Statistics For PhpGedView] - Jul 2006 Rank 2

In early 2010, a majority of active PhpGedView developers stopped development on PhpGedView and created a fork. The new, forked program is called webtrees.{{cite web | url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpgedview/forums/forum/185165/topic/3799711 | title=still being developed | work=PhpGedView open discussion forum | publisher=PhpGedView | accessdate=August 12, 2010}}
