Guide on Crafting a GEDCOM File in RootsMagic
RootsMagic is a popular genealogy software that allows users to manage and share their family history. One of the key features of RootsMagic is its ability to export data in the GEDCOM format, which is a standard file format used for exchanging genealogical data between different software programs.
Getting Started
To create a GEDCOM file in RootsMagic, first, launch the RootsMagic software on your computer. After launching RootsMagic, load the family file you want to export to a GEDCOM file.
Exporting the GEDCOM File
From the "File" menu, choose the "Export" option to open the Export window. In the Export window, select "GEDCOM" as the export type to create the GEDCOM file. Users can then choose a name for their GEDCOM file and specify the location on their computer where they want to save it.
Customising the GEDCOM Export
RootsMagic allows users to customise their GEDCOM export, offering options for privacy settings, multimedia options, and other preferences. Users can configure these settings to their liking before proceeding with the export process.
Exporting the File
Once the settings have been configured, users can click the "Save" or "Export" button in the Export window to proceed with the export process. RootsMagic generates the GEDCOM file containing genealogical data based on the settings specified by the user. The time taken for the process depends on the size of the family file.
Verifying and Sharing the GEDCOM File
After the export is complete, users can verify the GEDCOM file for accuracy and then share it with others or use it to import data into another genealogy software. Always refer to the RootsMagic software's documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
