Why Tree to CSV works
A practical bridge out of GEDCOM.
GEDCOM is excellent for moving data between genealogy apps, but awkward when you want to inspect, sort, filter or analyse that data elsewhere.
Tree to CSV extracts the useful parts, adds cleaner structure where possible, and gives you a format that works naturally in spreadsheets, databases and research workflows.
Main features
Everything the app does, without pretending it is more complicated than it is.
Cleaner data fields
Get processed dates, standardised formats, parsed names and location components alongside the original source data.
Relationship-aware exports
Include parents, spouses, children, siblings and extra genealogical calculations when the tree size allows it.
Low-risk trial first
Use the free version to validate compatibility with your GEDCOM before paying for unlimited export rows.
Export types
Choose the slice of your family tree data you need.
Tree to CSV keeps the export options simple. Pick the record type that matches your task, then work with a focused CSV instead of untangling one giant file later.
Each export can be connected to the other export options by linking the common ID values that are held in each output file (when working with a compatible application / database).
People
Individual records with birth and death details, locations and relationship fields across 37 columns.
Families
Marriage-focused records covering partners and children across 23 columns, with optional marriage record consolidation.
Events
Births, deaths, marriages, census entries, christenings, occupations and burials in a compact 16-column export.
Locations
Hierarchical place data in a lightweight 3-column format that is useful for mapping, cleanup and geographic review.
Built for real genealogy work
Useful when you want to analyse, migrate or sanity-check your data.
This is a small app with a clear purpose: help you get family history data out of GEDCOM and into tools that are better suited to inspection, research and reporting.
Genealogy research and analysis
Sort, filter and compare data in spreadsheets or import it into a database for deeper investigation.
Readable exports and backups
Keep a readable tabular version of your GEDCOM data so the information is easier to inspect, archive and revisit outside specialist family tree software.
Data cleanup and validation
Spot inconsistent dates, place naming issues and structural gaps more easily when the data is laid out in rows and columns.
Family history documentation
Prepare extracts that can feed reports, research notes or downstream tools outside your genealogy app.
