Ged2Wiki is a project of my own creation to convert a GEDCOM into DokuWiki pages so that they can be added to this (or any other DokuWiki-based) site.

This program is written in the Perl programming language – and while I had initially thought that the GEDCOM module from CPAN would be a good starting point, I later decided that starting from the ground up was easier (for me).

The program reads a GEDCOM file and stores all the relevant data in hashes. It then spits out a wiki page for each family (and any individuals who do not have families of their own).

It makes an effort to mark living people as “Private”, so their information will not show up. However, be aware that this feature is not 100%!

Finally, it creates an Index file for all non-Private names it finds.

Modification History:

• 01 Feb 2009 – Initial upload (very buggy and mostly useless)
• 30 May 2010 – Fixed most bugs, but still had major problems marking people as “Private”
• 06 Jan 2013 – Added Index feature and enhanced Privacy feature

The latest version of the program can be found here: ged2wiki.zip
