Like a lot of people I have my tree (hubby's tree) online, and in my case on ancestry.
I'm embarking on a project to handwrite the tree on a massive roll of paper. At over 4500 people it's going to take me most of the year!
but - what I'd like to do is add a bit of interest and do a mindmap of surnames, or places. Or jaybe something with ages/date of birth etc. Even just male/female split.
So ideally i want to do this on a computer as it's a whole heap of work doing it manually. I've downloaded the gedcom file from ancestry but it appears pretty useless unless uploading into another family tree software.
Does anyone know if I can use the data to even half do the sort of thing im thinking of? Even just names into excel or similar would be a start
