It’s a nice little program that does just one thing: It finds and classifies all the GEDCOM files (or GEDCOM variants) on your computer. It is simple and only has one screen, allowing you to set the starting directory, filter the filename and include files that contain some desired text. Then it displays important information about the files it finds, and allows you to load any file with your default program that opens .ged files (usually your genealogy software), or let you use your default text editor to view the GEDCOM file directly.
You’ll find it useful if you have more than a few GEDCOMs on your computer.He summarizes the issues involved in locating these files with a discussion of the different types of GEDCOM files that can be created. He says, "You might be surprised and find a few files you didn’t even know you had."
… or if you forgot where on your computer you put some of them.
The program can be found at www.beholdgenealogy.com/gedcomfilefinder.
