It’s designed to verify large GEDCOM files using geodata from geonames.org. I’m curious if people would find this useful and would love feedback on the system. Also, I’d like to know if people think it would be useful to convert it to an add-in for GRAMPS. The system is in Python and uses Sqlite3 but would require significant changes to work as a GRAMPS add in. Features: - Rich place name database from geonames.org optimized for Genealogy including including cemeteries, historic locations, and religious locations. - Designed for correcting large GEDCOM files - Automatic matching wherever possible adds missing information such as missing state/province or county. - Standardizes placenames - Output is to a new GEDCOM file - Adds latitude/longitude - Wildcard search - presents a list of wildcard matches - Phonetic search - presents a list of phonetic matches - Highlights locations in the US and Canada where the event date is before European settlement - Free / Open Source You can find further information here: https://github.com/corb555/GeoFinder/wiki/User-Guide-- Gramps-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users https://gramps-project.org -- Gramps-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users https://gramps-project.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... -- Gramps-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users https://gramps-project.org
