What is a GEDCOM file?

GEDCOM (GEnealogical Data COMmunication) is the universal exchange format for family-tree data. Nearly every genealogy program — Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, Gramps and dozens more — can export your research as a single .ged text file containing people, families, dates, places, notes and sources.

This viewer reads GEDCOM versions 5.5, 5.5.1 and 7.0. Because the format is plain text, your file can be parsed directly in the browser — which is exactly what happens here, on your device.
