Main limitation are the testing capabilities in travis for wxpython. Tested using python 3.5.3 and 3.6.2, happy to test other versions if needed.
You can install it using pip pip install pyGenealogicalTools This application uses the Geni API but is not endorsed, operated, or sponsored by.
Notice that this import is intended to import registers from FamilySearch, is you are interested in importing profiles from a family tree located in FamilySearch to Geni use this tool:, which is a pretty nice piece of software and very helpful.
It provide a simple interface to RootsMagic database allowing to access the data and the different profiles.For those interfaces avaialble, it can found potential matches in a GEDCOM.It allows to transform data from other sources (Geni, RootsMagic) into GEDCOM.It allows to read gedcomfiles and operated them (add new profiles).Interface with several online registers:.Import to Geni an excel output of children from FamilySearch records, it will merge common profiles.A tool for parsing FamilySearch excel outputs of sons in a family.A common base profile for any genealogical input.Guess the names and surnames from a complete surname (beta).Get children surname based on several naming conventions.Extract the tree of descendants of a profile in gedcom.Create a child, parents or partner in geni.Build a map of cousins of a given profile in Geni.Access by command line to Geni profiles and relationship information.It is mainly offering the following capabilities: Malof, San Francisco, CaliforniaĮnter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.Several genealogical python tools included which are under development. ICYMI: Type for Genealogists : Linux Libertine and Biolinum.The Families of Perkins, Fairfield, and King.I will continue using it as one tool in my toolkit.
Overall, this update to RootsMagic is great. I like the idea that there are tutorials available for using RootsMagic and FamilySearch I will get to those someday. I maintain a small tree on FamilySearch but all of it is already hand-entered in my database off-line. I do not have a paid Ancestry account, so will not be able to use that connector. I have not tried the connections to FamilySearch or Ancestry yet. I’ve also coded a rough draft of a Register-style report in the Lifelines report language, which is quite useful. These two other programs are free, open source software projects which are quite good themselves. I will stick with LifeLines and Ancestris for their detailed and in-depth problem reports, making any changes in RootsMagic. If you were to use this style without a care for the looks, you’d be fine, but me, I have a lot of clean-ups to do. I would recommend that the developers read a couple of the current style guides available which detail the Register style. I chose the NEHGS Register style which I am familiar with to test-drive that report on my main family line. Running a Narrative Report is easy, there are a few choices for details. In the narrative report, anyway, they are fine. I have to select it using just the Shift-arrow keys, character-by-character.Īlthough my source list got messed up during the transition from The Master Genealogist version 8 to RootsMagic 6 some years ago and having edited it by hand in the raw GEDCOM file, the sources appear well enough. One annoyance is that I cannot select whole words using the Control-Shift-arrow keys. It is however, somewhat like what was in The Master Genealogist. The Sources listing screen in RM8 is quite different. None of it was significant, though, so, so far so good. lst file containing a bunch of “unknown info” from the GEDCOM import.
Looking at the database folder on my computer, I found the. I expected some errors and omissions during the conversions, but I saw no problems reported by RootsMagic. Importing a GEDCOM 5.5.1-compliant file also went smoothly.
I was able to convert a RootsMagic Essentials 7 database with no problems. I also like the font scaling feature in the Settings menu. There is a search field in the Command Palette in the upper right part of the main screen that will lead you to what you need to find. The interface is reminiscent of Evidentia, with no menu-bar or toolbar across the top as was in previous versions.
I was able to upgrade from a registered version 6 with no problem.
The initial purchase, setup, and registration went smoothly. I just purchased RootsMagic, version 8 (RM8).
