Gramps – What is GEDCOM

We support the GEDCOM format to exchange data with other genealogy software.

GEDCOM (an acronym standing for GEnealogical Data COMmunication) is a proprietary and open de facto[1] specification for exchanging genealogical data between different genealogy software. GEDCOM was developed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) as an aid to genealogical research.[2]

On the internet you can find various software programs that support this format. An example is gramps.project.org
