$gedcom = $parser->parse('tmp\gedcom.ged');

foreach ($gedcom->getIndi() as $individual) {
    echo $individual->getId() . ': ' . current($individual->getName())->getSurn() .
        ', ' . current($indi->$individual())->getGivn();
}

//export to gedcom file
$writer = new Writer($gedcom);
$writer->writeToFile("tests/output/test.ged");
