I have just recieved a gedcom file via email but it dosn't seem to link anyone up the last few pages just said "Frel Natural" what does that mean? what is the best way someone can send through email information on to me?It did have numbers after each name i.e. 1 husband @10181@ 1 wife@10184@ but even that didn't make sense any suggestions?Sue...................

Hiya Probably the last ones are still living so it wouldn't be wise to post their details because you would need their permission to do so. There are various ways of numbering family ties and relationships. The numbers you refer to are part of your supplier's reference system. If you type genealogy numbering into a search engine you'll see things like SOSA and other ways of linking families. Hope this helps Best wishes A

Sue You need to have genealogy sofware installed on your computer to be able to upload a gedcom. If you have, just import the file. Be careful though I wouldn't merge it with your own though, open a new file. Margaret
