Use this free on-line viewer to reveal family tree data from gedcom-format files. Gedcom is one of the standard file formats used for exchanging genealogical data between family tree programs.
Although gedcom is supposed to be a standard family tree file format, many variations and enhancements have been introduced by genealogists and family tree software companies in the years since it was first created, so this free gedcom file viewer will attempt to extract the maximum amount of useful ancestry information from the file, whatever the variations. In addition, it uses DrawMyFamilyTree.co.uk software to generate narrative about the relationships between the family members and event dates that it finds in the historical tree data.
You can easily recognise a gedcom-format file on your computer because its name will end with '.ged'. If you want to view a gedcom file from the internet, download it to your computer first. This gedcom file viewer will show the people in the family tree in an easy-to-read form, unlike trying to view it directly with a word-processor or spreadsheet program.
If you're a registered, logged-in user of DrawMyFamilyTree.co.uk you can easily import gedcom-format files into your own family trees and export gedcom-format files for other people to use. DrawMyFamilyTree.co.uk is free to use.
