Hi all I just joind this group and am interested in sharing whatever info I have but need some advice/suggestions. I have been documenting my ancestry for quite some years and in the process also documenting ALL related families not just direct ancestors/descendants. I presently have around 12,000 individuals on file including but not limited to the following families DEUBLE REITHMULLER BADKE SAAL FLEGLER TEDFORD GODFREY PITMAN POSTLE and others mentioned previously in this group. My questions are My genealogy program does not allow me to export text files, partial gedcoms or any other easy way of e-mailing information. What programs are available that will allow me to do this? What is the best way to make available all the information I have on file? Post a gedcom somewhere? Set up a website using a gedcom to html converter? Something else? Is there any reasonably easy method of merging gedcom files containing multiple duplications? On a more general note, I am just curious if anyone else likes to document all family connections not just the close ones. I have also made a summary chart (5 x A3 sheets) of some of the many cross-family connections that I have uncovered which I think really highlights how close all the early settlers in SE Qld (esp. Darling Downs) were. Kind regards & have a nice day Don Gough Brisbane, Australia

Hi Don, Another program on free download is Legacy which enables you to do a great deal. Try http://www.legacyfamilytree.com The import and merge is very easy to do.
