Research Data Filer Convert (RDFC) makes it easier for researchers
to use the powerful focus and sort routines that are part of the
RDF program. There are important differences between the RDF and
Family Records program. A researcher would need to use the focus
and sort routines in both programs to appreciate the difference.
The RDF program makes it easy to browse through records, find
family relationships and then GEDCOM only the records wanted into
the Family Records database.
Perhaps one of the best ways to use RDFC is for the conversion of
GEDCOM files down-loaded from the International Genealogical Index
(IGI). All records with a certain surname can be down-loaded onto
a disk to be run through this program. RDF can then be used to
browse through those records to find individuals related to you.
Research Data Filer Convert will also allow the use of the RDF to
sort through GEDCOM files created from the Social Security Index,
the Viet Nam and Korean War Index, the Ancestral File and any
records that become available in the future.
RDFC will sort through GEDCOM files and find the parents of
individuals. It will take each individual and family found in the
GEDCOM file and add them to the RDF database. If RDFC finds the
parents for an individual, they will be written in the
relationship field for each event for that individual.
