About this conversion

A CSV exported from a spreadsheet, a database or another website becomes a GEDCOM file here. The same columns as for Excel are recognised — given name and surname or a full name, sex, birth and death dates and places, father, mother and spouse by name or ID, notes — with commas, semicolons or tabs between them. A CSV saved by Excel in any language opens correctly, including the older Windows encodings Excel uses for Cyrillic and Central European letters. The tree opens on the page first, so you can check that parents and children are linked before saving the .ged.

Just want to look inside it?

The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.

The same tree, other ways

The tree stays open after it is read, so the format is picked at the end: the same file can leave here as PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), HTML, TXT, JSON, PNG, JPG, XML or SVG. Before that you can walk through it person by person, print it as a chart or a book, find people who were entered twice, hide the living, and correct names and dates.
