Can anybody explain to me what a Gedcom File is and how I upload it and to where. I have access to Ancestry and have FT2005. I also have built my tree on GR. Any help gratefully received. Andrea |

Andrea: GEDCOM The abbreviation for GEnealogical Data COMmunications. GEDCOM is a computer format that permits one type of software program to read genealogical records created in another program. GEDCOM was created by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to make it possible for people with different brands of software and computers to share their information. You can recognize a GEDCOM file on your computer because its file name ends with ".GED." Your FTM program allows you to format the tree you created into a .ged formatted file. You would then be able to submit your tree to sites like Genes Reunited or to send to others and share your information. Judy |
