The .ged file extension has reportedly been linked to seven different applications. The first and most common use is associated with family history files known as GEDCOM (GEnealogical Data COMmunication) files. These data files contain family history information such as names, dates of birth and death, places of residence, relatives names, family events, etc. The data is saved in ASCII text which makes it easily usable by most genealogy software programs. Meta data stored within individual records makes it possible to link the records throughout an entire family tree project. Being able to link individual records makes for much easier family tree creation. The .ged file format was developed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka the Mormon Church) as a means of making computer searches more efficient.

My computer was always popping up with registry errors and I couldnt get rid of them. Regtask did the job for me and took less then 5 minutes to speed up my computer.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my computer started to experience random freezes, I just used Regtask and now it works normally again.
David G.
My computer is 5 years old and runs extremely slow now. I was a bit sceptical about using Regtask, but just decided to give it a shot in the end and it worked out fantastically for me.

The .ged file structure is similar to a numbered list in a word processing document. All top level records are numbered with a zero, the next level is number 1, the next level number 2, and so on. Although this is very simple data structure, it's ideal for a family tree. Links and queries can be confined to a specific field at a specific level, making searches much faster. The only file errors one would expect from this .ged file relate incorrectly formatted data. It is uncommon for GEDCOM files to be written manually because most software packages automate the task as data is entered. Any incorrect formatting of the data would be program issue rather than an individual file issue.

More Info Regarding File Extension Ged
There are currently dozens of software products that use the GEDCOM file format such as Taurus FamilyTree, GEDitCOM, TREEFIC, Ancestral Author, Genbox Family History, Roots Magic, LifeLines, GeneWeb, Ages!, GRAMPS, Leister Reunion, Taurus FamilyTree. It must be noted that while most genealogical software products support .ged, there are a handful that use a proprietary format which cannot be imported by other software packages. GEDCOM files can also be converted form .ged format to .html with the use of a conversion program. GED Browser is a free program that will convert your .ged files to .html, creating charts of family members and descendants along with a site map. Other conversion tools include GED4WEB, UncleGED, and GED-GEN.
Another program commonly associated with the .ged extension is an open source project called Game Editor. This application is a cross platform tool for creating 2-D computer games. The .ged file extension is given to a project file, which contains all the code to make the game run, including game data and settings. Individual pieces of the game like graphics, sounds, fonts, .etc are saved in a data folder with their own standard file extensions. The Game Editor .ged file is specific to this software and is not accessible with any external software. Errors have been reported when using .ged files from different versions of Game Editor. These errors do not show any specific pattern so it's like the cause is the individual program installation or operating system.
A third association of the .ged file belongs to Arts & Letters Draw, an entry level drawing program with many all of the standard features. In the case of this software. .ged stands for Graphic Environment Document. It is the native environment for this software, but images .ged files can be exported to one of fifteen others. The Arts & Letters .ged is a proprietary one which most converter software does not support.
There are four other unverified associations with the .ged file. In no particular order they are: an editor file from EnerGraphics IMAGE EDITOR editor, A GoldEd compiled configuration file, A Micrografx geometry file, and a Wicat Image. No further information on these file formats is currently available.
