Member Since: December 2005 Posts: 23 Send Message	I have not used gedcom files up to now, but they seem to be the standard way of storing tree information. Can anyone recommend a good, free, gedcom editor/viewer? I am not looking for anything too fancy but would like to be able to write, edit and view gedcom files. Is there any free software out there that does a decent job?

	Hi Ian The free PAF software from LDS allows you to import and export gedcoms. Heather
