Thoughts on GEDCOM search engine
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:45 am
Hi everyone,
I am new to this site so please bear with me.
A while ago I started a little project which was basically a GEDCOM file search engine. The Plan was to get it so it would crawl the internet looking for GEDCOM files and then indexing their location and then parsing them into a database. This means that people could search for names, dates and places and if a match was found they could go to the website and look for more information.
I was wondering what others think about the idea and if it would maybe a usefull feature for FamilySearch?
What do you guys think?
