Records and tools for emigrant families
Emigrant Ledger makes research worksheets and small software tools for family-history researchers, with a specialty in Irish and French-Canadian records — the parish registers, land surveys and civil records that the emigrants to North America left behind.
Free: GEDCOM Health Check
Upload a GEDCOM file (5.5, 5.5.1 or 7.0) and get an instant report on malformed dates, broken links between records, duplicate people, character-set problems and impossible chronology. Files are processed in memory and never stored.
Clean & Convert — $15.00 per file. After a Health Check you can buy a cleaned copy of your file (UTF-8, normalised dates, repaired links, optional conversion to GEDCOM 7.0) with a line-by-line change log. One-time payment through Stripe; full refund within 14 days.
Research worksheets
Printable and editable worksheets (PDF in US Letter and A4, plus Word) that match how the actual records are laid out, each with a page of crib notes for that record type and links to the free archives. Eight titles, $4–$8 each, with bundles.
