George Small point - you do not need to send Gedcoms to another person. You can save your old files to a Gedcom ( I suggest a new directory) and then import the Gedcom into your current program. I did it this way when transferring my files from Generations to Master Genealogist! Regards Helen Temp.

I downloaded the material I had collected regarding my families using Generations from Windows 98 onto floppies and then tried to upload to the XP into a new file but it would not take it. Seems Generations developed a file extension that does not work with anything but Generations. I would have had to re-install the blank Generations program and re-inserted everything bit by bit, which I am very hesitant to do. I believe another option, again I hesitate, is to re-install Generations and then Gedcom out to someone from the old computer who would Gedcom back to your new computer. My final solution was to keep the Generations program and all that material on the old computer and work on my charts from there exclusively and off-line. For further suggestions try Google "Generations and XP" because we were not the first to have this problem. Best of luck, George (in Pennsylvania, US)
