From gedcomtokml
GEDCOM to KML.
This project started with the need to have a geographical view on a family tree. We wanted to be able to view on a map all family events from genealogical file. We wanted to be able to see event
- by century (XXI, XX, XIX, ...)
- by generation, starting at a given individual record
- in ascendants tree, a given individual record being the root.
Here's who it looks like in Google earth
Version 0
