You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .ged. Files with the file extension .ged can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .ged files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .ged file?

The .ged file extension is used by many genealogical applications, and it is popularly known as a genealogical data File. Details about the user’s family history and information about his or her genealogy can be saved in the GEDCOM format, and these files are appended with the .ged extension. The file extension is not exclusively opened by the Ancestral Author application, since many other family history programs can be used to open .ged files. Family History programs are applications that are used to trace the genealogyical history of a certain person. It is used to record information about the user’s family tree. Many of these applications can be installed in widely used versions of Microsoft Windows, though there are some that are implemented with compatibility support for computers that run on Linux systems. There are also programs that can be installed in Mac platforms which can integrate compatibility support for creating, opening and viewing the content of these GED files.

how to open a .ged file?

Launch a .ged file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .ged file will open it.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .ged files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .ged. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
