GRR files are primarily associated with the Gramps Genealogical Research Software. Gramps is a free software project and community that produces a genealogy program to manage your family tree. These types of files contain various forms of information, like lineage data, which can be useful to researchers and historians.

Converting GRR files

In certain instances, it may be necessary to convert a GRR file to another genealogy format, such as GEDCOM. The Gramps software can facilitate these conversions.

You can find more information about these steps on the Gramps wiki page.
