    3. If so, then FTDNA needs to add a paragraph explaining what a GEDCOM is and how to create one. Diana > From: Mike Colton > Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 10:26 AM > > Many people don't even know what a GEDCOM is or how to create one.

    3. They do have a page about what a gedcom is, but it's not easily found. http://www.familytreedna.com/about-gedcom.aspx I've found that most people don't bother to read any of the information provided by FTDNA. They have good FAQs, but at least among my matches, they don't even know they exist. Could it be that the same people who don't know what gedcoms are, don't know what FAQs are?

    3. Yes, the explanation really needs to be on the page where you do the upload. If there's anything administrating a DNA project will teach you, it's that people DO NOT read instructions, especially if they're not right in front of them. Diana P.S. Running a mailing list will teach you that, too. ;-) > From: Karen Zander > Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 11:56 AM > > They do have a page about what a gedcom is, but it's not easily > found. > http://www.familytreedna.com/about-gedcom.aspx > > I've found that most people don't bother to read any of the > information > provided by FTDNA.
