Building a family tree shouldn’t feel like data entry chores. GedCom Builder lets you skip the tedious “one-by-one” clicking and use the power of Microsoft® Excel to build your lineage at scale.

The Faster Way to Build Your Tree

  • Bulk Management: Populate hundreds of entries at once. Use Excel’s toolset to copy, paste, and bulk-clean your data—fixing typos and formatting errors in seconds, not hours.
  • Complete Customization: Assign up to 5 custom facts per person, including dates, places, sources, citations, and URLs.
  • Instant Linking: Connect spouses and children simply by entering an ID. No complex menus required.
  • Total Compatibility: Includes support for FamilySearch identifiers, notes, and custom IDs, exporting a standard GEDCOM file ready for any major platform.

How It Works:

  1. Generate: Create a formatted template directly from the application.
  2. Clean & Fill: Populate the spreadsheet and use Excel’s full power to organize and audit your research.
  3. Convert: Load your spreadsheet back into the application and export a professional GEDCOM file instantly.

Stop fighting rigid software. Use Excel to engineer a better family tree.
