Technical Help / Converting Ancestry Gedcom file in MS Excel or another s/w prog.......
« on: Thursday 06 January 22 14:38 GMT (UK)  »
Having a large f/t via Ancestry, I want to be able to analyse and collate persons so I can group, for example, all those married or buried in a particular church to make visiting a village more interesting, or those born or died during a certain period to look into epidemics, blitzes, etc.  I have used Gramps to create a CSV and then imported the result into Excel.  The problem starts there - is there a way of creating column headings in the Excel sheet that match Gedcom's fields so I end up with a clean, legible, searchable database?  I am using excel 2010 and for obvious reasons would like to keep costs to a minimum or even zero.  Any and all comments welcomed (um, well, the useful ones !) . Ta muchly. Colin.

Hi
Let me know if this thread is still alive as I have information concerning Micaiah John which has not appeared thus far.
