New Genealogy Software to Save Thousands of Man HoursGeneaBloggers:

Ged-I (which stands for GEDCOM Interpreter) is an innovative genealogy software that automates the extraction of ancestral information from genealogical texts. It takes a process that currently takes months, even years, and condenses it into a matter of hours. Nothing like this currently exists. Ged-I is the first of its kind. Ged-I is still in the development phase. Logique LLC, the creators of Ged-I, is running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo starting October 23, 2015, to accelerate development and get the product out to the people who need it.

The findings enabled the issuing of identity cards and ration cards. The register applied to all civilians.
