Can anyone shed a light on how to print off my family tree in its complete form. Also what exactly is Gedcom? and what is its purpose? Sorry if i sound clueless, but some things are all new to me. But will appreciate any help on these subjects. Thank you Raewyn

Hi Raewyn, Put ' Gedcom ' in the search box and Glen with prickly knickers in a twist has the explanation. What do you mean by 'all my family tree'?. It will depend on what sort of genealogy program you have, but usually you don't get a spouses siblings etc. In a chart you won't get spouses (i.e. married into the family) parents. You will getr them in a 'report' or 'outline tree'. Okay, okay, I know FTW does an all in one tree but it is not easy to follow. Bernie
