Description

Why export a Gedcom file to another Gedcom file?

You are probably wondering why an export functionalityfunction iswould be necessary with Ancestris since the file used by Ancestris to edit a genealogy is already in Gedcom format.

In fact, genealogy software and genealogy sites around the world may have slightly different interpretations of the Gedcom standard. It is necessary in this case to modify the arrangement of the data to be correctly interpreted by the software or the site which will read your genealogy.

In addition, you may wish to use only part of your genealogy in the site in question.site.

For these two reasons, the export function has been created, to make your life easier.

To date, Ancestris supports exports for 3 genealogy sites.sites only.File Menu
