Hello,

 

There are many online databases that output data in the form of HTML tables.

One example would be the FreeReg query shown below. It's trivial to convert

this output to a CSV file. Is there a straightforward way to import this data into RootsMagic?

No straightforward way. You can import CSV into a spreadsheet. Then you could parse the data as needed and transform it into GEDCOM for import into RM or transform it into tables that could be imported into a SQLite database. The SQLite database might be a RootsMagic one or an intermediate one. That's the broad overview and sounds straightforward but the devil is in the details.

It appears Gramps can import / export in .csv format - I've not tried  this feature - this might allow you to get csv into  gedcom format and then import that into RM? Back ups' first!!

Good find, Trebor22. When I looked at Gramps some years ago, my interest collapsed because it crashed repeatedly. Sounds like it is time to look again.

Last time I looked at Gramps years ago, I didn't have any trouble with it crashing. But I found it too spartan - too lacking in features that I needed. But this is a super feature.

 

Potentially, I could create a spreadsheet with genealogical data, export the data as csv, import into Gramps, export into GEDCOM, import into RM. The process sounds convoluted but potentially it could save an enormous amount of data entry time. This especially would be true if the genealogical data in question was already in electronic format of some kind or if it could be OCR'd. But even if I had to do all the typing myself, typing data into a spreadsheet is oh so much faster than all the sub-windows and clickiness in the RM user interface.

Vyger created a series of YouTube videos on Excel to GEDCOM.

I just noticed Reunion on the Mac has the capability to map fields in a CSV to fields and event types, so if you're a Mac user you could pull them in to a blank file, merge them, and export as GEDCOM to RootsMagic.

 

Gramps is free, but uses a fixed format.

 

I don't use Reunion for much anymore, but I find it's book generator nicer than RootsMagic and when I need to key some book info in to create a GEDCOM it's faster.
