    <p>A few years ago I wrote a simplistic GEDCOM to XML translator in Python as part of a <a href="http://hewgill.com/journal/entries/277-genealogy" rel="noreferrer">larger project</a>. I found that dealing with the GEDCOM data in an XML format was much easier (especially when the next step involved XSLT).</p> <p>I don't have the code online at the moment, so I've pasted the module into this message. This works for me; no guarantees. Hope this helps though.</p> <pre><code>import codecs, os, re, sys from xml.sax.saxutils import escape fn = sys.argv[1] ged = codecs.open(fn, encoding="cp437") xml = codecs.open(fn+".xml", "w", "utf8") xml.write("""&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;\n""") xml.write("&lt;gedcom&gt;") sub = [] for s in ged: s = s.strip() m = re.match(r"(\d+) (@(\w+)@ )?(\w+)( (.*))?", s) if m is None: print "Error: unmatched line:", s level = int(m.group(1)) id = m.group(3) tag = m.group(4) data = m.group(6) while len(sub) &gt; level: xml.write("&lt;/%s&gt;\n" % (sub[-1])) sub.pop() if level != len(sub): print "Error: unexpected level:", s sub += [tag] if id is not None: xml.write("&lt;%s id=\"%s\"&gt;" % (tag, id)) else: xml.write("&lt;%s&gt;" % (tag)) if data is not None: m = re.match(r"@(\w+)@", data) if m: xml.write(m.group(1)) elif tag == "NAME": m = re.match(r"(.*?)/(.*?)/$", data) if m: xml.write("&lt;forename&gt;%s&lt;/forename&gt;&lt;surname&gt;%s&lt;/surname&gt;" % (escape(m.group(1).strip()), escape(m.group(2)))) else: xml.write(escape(data)) elif tag == "DATE": m = re.match(r"(((\d+)?\s+)?(\w+)?\s+)?(\d{3,})", data) if m: if m.group(3) is not None: xml.write("&lt;day&gt;%s&lt;/day&gt;&lt;month&gt;%s&lt;/month&gt;&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % (m.group(3), m.group(4), m.group(5))) elif m.group(4) is not None: xml.write("&lt;month&gt;%s&lt;/month&gt;&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % (m.group(4), m.group(5))) else: xml.write("&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % m.group(5)) else: xml.write(escape(data)) else: xml.write(escape(data)) while len(sub) &gt; 0: xml.write("&lt;/%s&gt;" % sub[-1]) sub.pop() xml.write("&lt;/gedcom&gt;\n") ged.close() xml.close() </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
