If the individual does not already have an associated father in the gedcom: searches for individuals who could be the father (same surname and first name, date of birth and death consistent with that of the individual's birth). If he has several, they are displayed in a list and the user chooses. If no potential father is found, creates a new individual who will be the father and creates a family with the individual as a child.

Import and export file format

ANCESTRIS  format

All four types of statements have the same format: the lines consist of 82 fields separated by a semicolon. The contents of the fields are encoded in UTF-8 format. Each line ends with the separator "\r\n" (end of line in Windows format).

If the semicolon separator character is present inside a field, the field is enclosed in quotation marks when writing to the file. In the same way, if the quote character is present inside a field, a second quote is added after it (see RFC 4180).

Some fields are ignored when Ancestris reads the file depending on the type of event, see the table below.

Tip: It is possible to create a file in Ancestris format with a spreadsheet program to, for example, reuse data already entered with a spreadsheet program.

  1. create a table of 90 columns with the spreadsheet program
  2. put ANCESTRISV4 in the first column of all rows
  3. fill in the other columns as defined below. It is possible to leave cells empty except for the 1st and 8th columns.
  4. save data in CSV or TXT format (with semicolon as cell separator)

NIMEGUE format

The four types of statements have different formats.

  • Birth rows contain 30 columns
  • The wedding rows contain 60 columns
  • The death rows contain 38 columns.
  • Rows for miscellaneous acts contain 64 columns

The fields are separated by a semicolon. The last field of the line is always followed by a semicolon. Lines are separated by 2 characters x0A x0D If the semicolon separator character is present inside a field, it is replaced by a period when writing to the file because Nimegue does not support the RFC 4180 recommendation.

EGMT format

All four types of statements have the same format: the lines consist of 44 fields separated by a semicolon. The contents of the fields are encoded inUTF-8 format.

If the semicolon separator character is present within a field, the field is enclosed in quotation marks when writing to the file. Similarly, if the quote character is present inside a field, a second quote is added after it (see RFC 4180).

Some fields are ignored when Ancestris reads the file, see the table below.

Tip: It is possible to create a file in EGMT format with a spreadsheet program to, for example, reuse data already entered with a spreadsheet program.

  1. create a table of 44 columns with the spreadsheet program
  2. fill in the columns according to the definition below. It is possible to leave cells empty except for the first column.
  3. save data in CSV or TXT format (with semicolon as cell separator)
