Stat Ranger: The Authority in GEDCOM Statistics

Stat Ranger is my latest web service. It analyzes your GEDCOM file and collects together the most interesting statistics into one place and displays them. Basic statistics, such as the number of each record type found in your database are displayed. This is useful if for no other reason than to make sure the numbers compare to your master database. Stat Ranger also calculates the total number of claims made and determines how many of these claims are documented. It also determines how many of the claims are impossible as determined by the Bonkers algorithms. You can run the Bonkers web service directly to get a detailed listing of all impossible and improbable claims.

One of Stat Ranger's most interesting features its ability to group your claims into different categories, these being Parental Relationships, Census Claims, Vital Events, Non-Vital Events, Non-Parental Associations, Names and Attributes. It then presents the totals found for each type, delineated (or perhaps columnized) by source documentation quality as determined by the use of source reference quality fields (QUAY) and source category fields. See the FAQ for more information on these properties and how they are determined. The FAQ also gives you information can be used to beeter implement claim documentation and vastly increase the reliability of your database.

Stat Ranger collects some other interesting statistics on the total numbers of Locations, Photos, External URLs, Immigrants and Nobility Titles. The list will undoubtedly be expanded in the future.
