Overview |
OverviewLDS Companion is a utility program designed to enhance the functionality of the various databases published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, both on CD-Rom and on their website at www.familysearch.org. The LDS CD's and website allow you to print pages of information directly from their indexes, and this may be all you ever want to do. But if you want to build a computerised database, e.g. for your own surname, then you have more of a problem. You can export from their indexes, but in a bewildering variety of formats that don't lend themselves easily to reformatting in a common tabular format. That's where LDS Companion comes in. Its primary function is to convert from the LDS download files into database or spreadsheet files. But it also includes the ability to view the converted files, to print reports, sort the data and even re-export to Gedcom files. Please use the links above for more information on what it can do. |

System RequirementsLDS Companion runs under either Windows 95 or later, on a PC with around 8 Mbytes of RAM. The program and sample files together require about 2 Mbyte of disk space. 20 August 2006 |
