Files are recognised by the extension suffix .ged Rather than go into specific details at this point, could you please let us know what exactly you wish to accomplish and someone will be happy to advise accordingly?

But if you really meant "make a .ged from scratch"(??). Well..You can. But not without a full understanding of how the file is built. A .ged is a text file with very specific formatting of each line.
