Galizien German Descendants
Member Donated GEDCOMs

Over time the members Galizien German Descendants have donated the results of their research efforts to GGD to assist other GGD members when researching their families. These research results are collected in family trees stored in GEDCOM format files. GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunications. Originally developed by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) it has spread throughout the Genealogy community as a standard method of storing genealogical data on a computer. Since virtually all genealogy programs allow you to import and export GEDCOM data files users are able to exchange computerized genealogical data no matter what program or operating system they use. This page links you to a program that views the GEDCOM data files submitted by our members. Feel free to contact the secretary if you would like to submit a GEDCOM of your own.

GGD has collected following GEDCOMs from its members :

1939 Resettlement Records (55,694 Individuals; 18,689 Families) (Surnames found in this database)
This is the same data that is available at our 1939 Resettlement Records web pages. We are presenting this data here also because there are a number of charts that can be viewed using the PGV-View tool that are not available in our original pages. Also, this GEDCOM will always be the most current version of our resettlement database because our static resettlement web pages are difficult to change. Because of the large size of this resettlement database, page views on this link will be significantly slower.
