The developer, John Nairn, is very responsive to requests for help or to suggestions for future changes. Other programs use Gedcom but often adapt it in ways that hinder the transfer of information to other users: GEDitCOM even provides ways to correct these idiosyncracies. But underneath it all is a rock-solid base built on the Gedcom standard. You can use it “out of the box” and it will do pretty much anything you want you can tweak it a little using the inbuilt customization options or by fairly simple editing of the formats to suit your particular needs or your preferences about how it looks or if you’re more adventurous you can make major changes. Since then each revision has added a further swathe of improvements. When GEDitCOM II came out my comment on another review site was “the best just got a whole lot better”. ![]() I checked back on the others from time to time and never saw anything to make me change. When I started working on our family tree I tried most of the genealogy programs available for the Mac but it didn’t take a lot of thought to settle on GEDitCOM.
