Tools that will help you view GED files
Sometimes you need to quickly preview the contents of a file with the GED extension. In such a situation, many people decide to find a tool that, according to its creators, can display the contents of the GED file and many other types of files (All in One Viewer).
Of course, there are such tools. However, it should be remembered that they may display the data contained in the GED file differently than the application dedicated to handling the GED file extension. When you cannot afford to have the data of the GED file displayed different from the original, you should use the applications developed to work with the GED file.
Below you will find a list of software programs that will help you with this. These software programs will help you view the content of the GED file, minimizing possible errors that may arise with other tools.
