Genealogy data extraction (PAF/GEDCOM)

$30-250 AUD

Paid on delivery
Looking to find someone able to extract data from an old Personal Ancestry File (PAF) database, version 5.2 (version dates from 2002; software support ended 2013). Database is only capable of saving as/exporting to either native paf or more standard gedcom file types. Would prefer output to csv &/or txt. Primary & largest dataset comprises 11670 records, with populated fields per record ranging from 2 to 12 (roughly), mainly text but a few number, no images or anything fancy. If cracking this set is successful, could add another couple of smaller datasets. I can supply the dataset in either PAF (v 5,4,3,2 optional) or GEDCOM 5.5 (charset options available), as well as the PAF software files (approx 9MB pre-zip) if needed. Note this is my first project on this service so if instructions are insufficient, let me know, or if budget is out of line, can negotiate within reason.

I'm a masters student of computer science, most of my work included software development, data analysis/extraction/cleansing and testing. I have quite a grip when it comes to data, have experience of dealing with many older versions of databases. Just started my freelancer journey and hope that I can help you solve mentioned problem. For now, just provide me the dataset in PAF and GEDCOM. I can assure the utmost professionalism, correctness and quality of the work. Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi, I've briefly reviewed the specification for GEDCOM dataset and I'd be happy to put together a script to export the data to CSV or excel for you. I'd be happy to provide the completed python script for you after completion of the project in case you need to perform similar operations in the future. I believe I would just need a GEDCOM 5.5 version of the relevant file. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. All the best, Chris

Hello, I did my ancestry in GRAMPS and finally in Ages. Export via GEDCOM is the best way forward, BUT you ned to be aware, what you want to achieve. GEDCOM is still no really good standard, some times notes are lost and you get many indivdiual items, like persons, places with IDs an so on. I think you need to be clear upfront, whereto you want to import finally. There may be frustration in the end, as not all information is transferable (although you use a GEDCOM standard). I would be happy to be of help. So I bid here to support you on the transfer. Assuming you do not want just the bare data. If that is of help for you, then let us try. Please be aware, that completing this task in 5 days (or less) is only possible, if you help in reducing the GEDCOM incosistencies. Otherwise please be aware that the transfer might take longer. In addition you need to put effort on the task of determining your new target software. I am doing my ancestry for East Prussia and it is so frustrating to have been forced to move data between two softwares in the midst of the process and to lose data (in my case lose references to the church record sources). It is a painful process. Cheers Gerd

Hi, I have experience in analysis of data and transposing in different formats as I have done it before (not with geneology data). If we'll work together I'll deliver you a csv file and a text file in the formats we will both agree on. I hope to hear back from you! Best regards, Bogdan Vintila, PhD
