I have an excel spreadsheet containing 4,500 records of family history details that I need to import into MacFamilyTree. I assume that the GEDCOM format is most suited for this.
Here is the blurb from the software:
"The GEDCOM format is the one standard format which allows exchanging genealogy data between different genealogy applications. MacFamilyTree 6 greatly improves the GEDCOM import and export. To name just a few: version 6 now supports ANSEL encoding, as well as UTF-8, UTF-16, Plain ASCII, Mac OS Roman and Windows Latin export. Media exported along with the GEDCOM file can optionally be compressed. Partial export from single persons up to entire branches can easily be accomplished."
I also attach the file to be converted.
I don't think that this is a complex task but am happy to negotiate! I know that there are GEDCOM conversion utilities out on the net so that may be a shortcut way to do the job.
I want all of the data converted (i.e. all cells of each row) and (I guess this is obvious) the important information is that the relationships between the records is contained in the GEDCOM that is generated.
If the conversion can be rerun in the future when the spreadsheet is updated then that would be ideal. A one-time conversion is also ok if that is all that can be done.
