Der findes et utal af programmer til brug for slægtsforskere. Denne oversigt skal opfattes som en hjælp til at finde sig til rette i denne jungle. Flytte data fra et program til et andet Alle programmerne på denne side behersker GEDCOM eksport og import. Det betyder, at man kan flytte sine data fra et program til et andet. Det er væsentligt, hvis du allerede har en masse data, du gerne vil have flyttet over i det nye program, du vælger (import). På samme måde, er det væsentligt, at du senere kan vælge om, så du ikke er 'stavnsbundet' til et program, men kan foretage en eksport af dine data til andre programmer - eller til andre slægtsforskere, der bruger et andet program end dig. Vær dog opmærksom på, at selv om et program understøtter den nyeste GEDCOM version (5.5), er det ikke sikkert, at alle data bliver overført 100% korrekt, da bl.a. referencer til begivenheder og kilder ofte implementeres forskelligt. Dette skyldes, at GEDCOM 5.5 har mange udefinerede områder, der ofte tolkes forskelligt i de forskellige programmer. Så forvent en vis mængde arbejde, hvis du vælger at skifte program.
