GeoFinder

GeoFinder reads the place names in a GEDCOM or Gramps XML genealogy file, validates and corrects them and adds their latitude and longitude. For unrecognized places, it supports wildcard searches and phonetic searches from the 20M entry geoname.org database.

Features

• Rich global place name database from geonames.org optimized for Genealogy including cemeteries, historic locations, and religious locations.
• Designed for correcting large files
• Automatic matching wherever possible adds missing information such as missing state/province or county.
• Cleans up and standardizes placenames
• Output is to a new file - the original file is untouched
• Adds latitude/longitude
• Wildcard search
• Phonetic search
• Highlights locations where the event date is before European settlement (US and Canada only, GEDCOM only)
