Davie: YOU ARE SERIOUS??? Okay, I'm game, Davie. I may not have much to connect to but I'll send mine in. What program do you have? Some gedcoms aren't compatible with others and aol is notorious for converting the information inline (ie: it comes in as lines of data, not an attachment). I've had to have other researchers zip the information first. Just thought I'd share those potential problems but I'm still sending the info as soon as I clean it up! :-) Jo-Ann PS GEDCOM stands for GEnealogical Data COMmunications and is a (relatively...) standard form for sharing information between various gen programs. The LDS first developed this method. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- >What exactly does GEDCOM stand for? > > > >---"W.
