Batch add children was created by eyolf
Here’s a common scenario:
I come across a list of family members, from a book, a website, a relative, a census, etc. I need to add them all.
Currently, they have to be added one by one, going through the whole click/tab/typing process, adding the source for each individual, forgetting to do so with brother Richard, so having to go back to correct that, etc. It can be a quite time-consuming task for a late-19th c. family with twelve children.
Ideally, I would have liked to make a csv-snippet with name, birth, death, and sex fields, paste it into a ‘Bulk add children’ box on the family page, where it would also be possible to add a source through the usual mechanism.
Would something like that be feasible? Perhaps as a plugin?

Use a gedcom to merge
And some other to convert from csv to gedcom.

You can edit the information using Excel, where copy/paste and check for errors is easy. Then use for example
GedTool
and convert the spreadsheet to GEDCOM. Import thisGEDCOM file to webtrees and merge it into your tree.
