2025 Editor's Rating

GEDCOMpare is a software developed by Stichting Aldfaer, a Dutch non-profit foundation dedicated to genealogy research. The software is designed to compare two genealogy databases saved in the standard GEDCOM format.

The program is especially useful for people who are working on collaborative genealogy projects or those who have multiple family trees saved in different databases. By comparing the GEDCOM files, users can easily identify any differences, duplicates or inconsistencies between the two databases.

  • The software allows users to customize the comparison process by selecting specific fields or elements to compare, such as names, dates, and locations.
  • Users can also choose to compare a certain portion of a GEDCOM file, rather than the entire file.

GEDCOMpare gives users a clear and detailed report outlining any discrepancies found in the databases, allowing them to make informed decisions on how to reconcile any differences between the two files. The program also includes an option to merge the two databases into one coherent family tree.

Note: GEDCOM stands for Genealogical Data Communication and is a standard file format used to share genealogical data between different programs and devices.
