The GEDCOM Cookbook
The rest of this manual is about using the app. The cookbook flips that around: here GEDCOM is the subject, and the app is just the tool that helps you write it well.
Each recipe answers a real genealogical question — “how do I record an adoption?”, “how do I cite a source?” — and follows the same shape:
Goal → The structure (the actual GEDCOM, with an example) → In the app (how to build it) → Across versions (5.5 / 5.5.1 / 7.0 differences) → Validation notes → See also.
