SCREENSHOTS:
Excel2GED
DESCRIPTION:
Excel2GED is an Excel spreadsheet with a macro for converting genealogy data into a GEDCOM-formatted text file with a '.ged' file extension. A GEDCOM file is generated by clicking the VBA-coded macro buttons 'Export' or 'Export to GEDCOM' after creating & selecting a recipient folder. That file can then be imported into a genealogy program, with family relationships already defined, BMD data included, and source notes attached.
Output has been validated to conform to GEDCOM 5.5.1 by software from https://chronoplexsoftware.com/gedcomvalidator and
ShowMeGEDCOM from http://www.familienbande-genealogie.de.
Some improved features in version 3:
Multiple marriages and adopted children are handled correctly.
Same-sex marriages/partnerships and children are accommodated.
