When I discovered my GGGGrandfather died in Hunnewell Kansas all I had to do was edit one line on a page and upload that page. No need to generate a whole new GEDcom. Since the site was created I've probably added fifteen or twenty new pages. Changes are simple and fast. The thing is, on World Connect you can't do this with a gedcom: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~billie0w/data/dat35.htm#1 GEDcom's can't carry all the information. The genealogy software I use now generates great web pages but they are not editable so every time I wanted to make a change it would be a completely new website that had to be uploaded. -- "A good moral character is the first essential in a man."

Images or the complete text of a will or whatever can also be included. It depends on how you choose to use it. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tuckerfamily&id=I1242 We have each chosen a different way to present our genealogy data. That does not make one right and the other wrong. My way is easier for me and yours is easier for you. Each of us makes that decision. pat
