GEDFix is a production-grade pipeline for cleaning, standardizing, and verifying GEDCOM 5.5.1 datasets. It preserves relationships while normalizing names, places, and dates, with explicit verification and rollback paths for zero-data-loss processing.
The platform combines a reusable Python package, CLI interface, and workflow scripts for scan, fix, verification, and controlled export. Every transformation is traceable through report artifacts, making it usable in professional genealogy, archive migration, and compliance-sensitive family-history workloads.
Its operating principle is integrity-first: no destructive normalization without backup, diff visibility, and relationship validation gates.
GEDCOM files accumulate errors across decades of software migrations and manual edits. GEDFix treats genealogical data as a trust asset — every correction is auditable, every merge preserves family structure, and every export meets archival standards without silent data loss.
Every transformation is diffed, logged, and reversible — no silent overwrites or orphaned records.
Deduplication and merge logic validates family linkages before committing any structural change.
Report artifacts and rollback paths satisfy archival and professional genealogy audit requirements.
