Hi Terry: The GEDCOM file is a common way of interchanging genealogical information between different software programs. I do not have a great deal of background in the various genealogical programs that are out there, but I would imagine virtually every one has the ability to output this type of file since it is so common among this type of software. It may be listed under a "Save As" or an "Export" option in your particular program. Once the file has been copied out of the program to a file in a folder, it may be "attached" to an Email and sent to me. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm more than happy to help! davie -----Original Message----- From: twheeler@telemedtoday.com <twheeler@telemedtoday.com> To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, November 02, 1998 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [ARDREW-L] Email your GEDCOMs to my address and we'll get started! >Okay, here are the stupid questions of the week.
