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

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
