Migrate from Gramps

Import your Gramps family tree into Clangram.

Gramps is great for heads-down genealogy research on your desktop, but it's not built for sharing with the whole family. Export your tree as a GEDCOM and put it in Clangram so relatives can browse it from their phones without installing anything.

How to export your Gramps tree

  1. 1Open your family tree in Gramps.
  2. 2From the menu bar, choose Family Trees → Export…
  3. 3In the Export Assistant, select GEDCOM as the format and click Forward.
  4. 4Choose what to include (the defaults — Include records marked private: off, Living people: as-is — are usually what you want for a family share), click Forward, pick a location, and Apply. Gramps writes a .ged file to disk.

Heads up

  • Gramps lets you export media alongside the GEDCOM. Clangram currently imports photos only from zips produced by its own exporter — photos in a Gramps-bundled export won't come across automatically, so plan to re-upload photos inside Clangram if you had them attached in Gramps.

Bring the tree into Clangram

  1. ASign up for a Clangram account and create a new (empty) family.
  2. BGo to Settings → Import and pick Choose file to import. Select the .ged you exported from Gramps.
  3. CClangram parses the file and creates every person and relationship. You'll land on an interactive tree view with birthdays, map, and all.
