Text2GED

Text2GED is a highly efficient computer program designed to access and extract genealogy data from the internet. The latest version, 1.1, features a program file named Text2GED.exe and is developed by gedmagic. With a compact program file size of 1.5 MB, Text2GED operates seamlessly on Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

Categorized under Internet & Network, and more specifically in the Download Managers subcategory, Text2GED stands out for its ability to quickly and accurately convert genealogy data displayed in a web browser into the standard GEDCOM 5.5 file format. This functionality bridges the gap between genealogical information found online and your database program, eliminating the need for tedious manual entry.

It then automatically converts this data into the GEDCOM 5.5 format, making it easy to import into any family tree program.
