Convert UZED to GEDCOM

Understanding uzed and gedcom file formats

UZED files are genealogy data files created by the Uzhgorod Family Tree software, a tool used primarily in Eastern Europe for recording and managing family history information. These files store detailed genealogical data, including individuals, relationships, events, and notes, in a proprietary format.

GEDCOM (GEnealogical Data COMmunication) is a universally recognized file format for exchanging genealogical data between different genealogy software. GEDCOM files use a plain text structure, making them compatible with a wide range of genealogy programs and online services.
