GEDitCOM Formats Downloads

GEDitCOM is a completely customizable genealogy application. Its' user interface is controlled by GEDitCOM Formats. The following table has downloads for GEDitCOM Formats that any GEDitCOM user can load into GEDitCOM and try out for new ways of browsing and editing GEDCOM genealogy files. These legacy formats work only in GEDitCOM 3.82 (or older) and do not work in the new GEDitCOM II.

The best way to install these options is to run GEDitCOM and use the Download Format... menu command. GEDitCOM will download the selected format or style and load it into GEDitCOM. If you like it and want to keep it, you can then use the Save Format As... menu command to save it on your disk. If you download from the following table, you can open that file in GEDitCOM using the Open Format→Other... submenu command.

GEDitCOM Format Description
Default Format The default format supplied with GEDitCOM that provides 100% access to all of the features of the GEDCOM genealogy standard.

Oletus Format Identical to the Default Format but everything is translated into Finnish. The menus, dialog boxes, and on-line help of GEDitCOM remain in English.
Pedigree Format Displays each individual record as a four-generation pedigree chart and prints pedigree charts. Family records display and print in nice family group charts.
Sukupuu Format Identical to the Pedigree Format but everything is translated into Finnish. The menus, dialog boxes, and on-line help of GEDitCOM remain in English.
Book Format Designed for printing books from any GEDCOM file. It is ideal to use with the GEDitCOM feature that lets you print a complete book with table of contents and an index.
Format Livre Identical to the Book Format but everything is translated into French. The menus, dialog boxes, and on-line help of GEDitCOM remain in English.

Book Format Finnish Identical to the Book Format but everything is translated into Finnish. The menus, dialog boxes, and on-line help of GEDitCOM remain in English.
Descendants This format will display a list of each individuals descendants. The list is similar to the one obtained with the Relatives menu command, but this format is useful for quickly viewing and printing descendants reports.
Jalkelaiset Identical to the Descendants but everything is translated into Finnish. The menus, dialog boxes, and on-line help of GEDitCOM remain in English.
Alternate Default Format The GEDCOM standard defines a FAMILY record as having a husband (male) and wife (female). This format provides some support for documenting same-sex family groups. Otherwise it is similar to the Default Format.
Address Book Format Designed for editing and printing address books. You can use it to edit addresses in your GEDCOM genealogy files or to create any address book, even for unrelated individuals.
GEDCOM Tab View Displays raw GEDCOM data in a nicely indented format. You can edit the raw data without fear of corrupting the GEDCOM structure of the file. The printed reports give a nicely indented view of the raw GEDCOM data.
Blank Format The starting point for writing your own customized format. It has the basic structure of a GEDitCOM Format. You add and edit templates to design your own genealogy interface.
Empty Format This format is completely empty. It is an alternative to the Blank Format to use when starting to write your own format. It is better if you do not plan to use any of the preset features in the Blank Format.
Family Tree Maker Format This demonstration format emulates the "Family Tree Maker" application. It is not meant for serious genealogy work but rather to illustrate the power and flexibility of the customization options of GEDitCOM.
Reunion Format This demonstration format emulates the "Reunion" application. It is not meant for serious genealogy work but rather to illustrate the power and flexibility of the customization options of GEDitCOM.

A downloaded format can only be opened in a version of GEDitCOM newer or equal to the one that created the uploaded file. If your version of GEDitCOM is too old, you will be informed. The solution is to update to the latest version of GEDitCOM.
