GEDCOM · Ancestry & FamilySearch exports

Find the interesting names hiding in your family tree

Upload a GEDCOM file exported from Ancestry.com or FamilySearch and we'll match every given name against 65 years of U.S. Social Security data — surfacing names that were rare for their era, right at their all-time peak, decades ahead of the trend, or quietly making a comeback today.

Everything runs in your browser. Your file is parsed locally and is never uploaded anywhere — nothing is sent to a server.

Load your tree

From Ancestry: Tree Settings → Export Tree. From FamilySearch: Tree → Tree Search → Print/Export → GEDCOM. Both produce a .ged file.

GEDCOM 5.5 / 5.5.1 — the standard export format, plain text

or paste GEDCOM text

Or enter names directly

No GEDCOM file? Type a list of ancestor first names — one per line, or separated by commas. Birth years aren't required, but the results are richer with a GEDCOM export since we can match names to their era.
