GENEALOGY
SOFTWARE
Genealogy software is computer software used
to record, organize, and publish genealogical
data.
At a minimum, genealogy software collects the date
and place of an individual's birth, marriage, and
death, and stores the relationships of individuals
to their parents, spouses, and children.
Some programs are more flexible than others in
allowing for the input of children born out of
wedlock or for varying types of spousal relation
-ships. Additionally, most genealogy programs
handle additional events in an individual's life,
notes, photographs and multimedia, and source
citations.
Genealogy software programs can produce a variety
of graphical charts and text reports, such as
pedigree charts, ahnentafel reports, and Register
reports. Some desktop applications generate HTML
pages for web publishing; there are stand-alone
web applications, as well. Most genealogy programs
can import and export using the GEDCOM standard.

GENEALOLOGICAL
DATA
COMMUNICATION
GEDCOM
GEDCOM (an acronym standing for GEnealogical Data
COMmunication) is a proprietary and open de facto
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.
A GEDCOM file is plain text (usually either ANSEL
or ASCII) containing genealogical information about
individuals, and meta data linking these records
together. Most genealogy software supports importing
from and/or exporting to GEDCOM format. However,
some genealogy software programs incorporate the use
of proprietary extensions to the GEDCOM format, which
are not always recognized by other genealogy programs,
for example the GEDCOM 5.5 EL (Extended Locations)
specification.
