GED-GEN
Jun 122011
 

When using your favorite genealogy program, and before you export to a GEDCOM file, be sure your family data is organized consistently.

Specify a death date for all deceased individuals. GED-GEN usually considers an individual living if no death date is given. If you have not specified a date of death for a deceased individual and you choose to exclude living individuals from your family pages, that individual will be excluded. For accurate results, if you do not know their date of death, specify UNKNOWN to indicate the event did occur.

Spell surnames consistently. GED-GEN compares exact spelling when it generates your surname and index pages. This means that names like “O'Brien” and “O' Brien” (with a space) will be treated as two different names. Be sure to spell them consistently.
