GEDXchange is genealogy software designed for efficient handling of GEDCOM 5.5 and GSF 2.0 files. It provides a range of genealogy tools to support family history researchers.
Written in C, these binary tools are both fast and efficient, and come in both graphical interface and command-line interface formats for maximum convenience. This makes GEDXchange ideal for most genealogy viewing and recording needs, and allows users to:
- Create and edit genealogical data
- Create web pages
- View the contents of genealogical data by individual person, pedigree trees, family diagrams, and more
- Convert data between formats
- Validate data
Please note that the graphical tools are only known to compile easily with Linux and Mac OSX, although with extra tools and libraries, they can be successfully ported to Windows. All applications binaries and source files are free and released under the General Public License.
It is important to be aware that some applications within GEDXchange are experimental, and users are advised to back up their data before use. While the files created by these applications have been shown to work with all major Linux and Windows genealogy software, the software is still in beta, and no guarantee or warranty is provided. Back up your data just in case.
This latest version of GEDXchange comes with some minor enhancements, such as graphical data markers and additional data shortcuts. However, the primary focus has been on bug-fixing, including some major fixes.
All in all, GEDXchange offers an array of useful genealogy tools, which are both user-friendly and efficient. However, as with any experimental software, it is important to back up your data before use, and to be aware that the software comes without any warranty or guarantee. Nevertheless, for those looking to work with GEDCOM 5.5 and GSF 2.0 files, it is definitely worth considering.
