Hi Carol, You should upload your ged file (family tree) to: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/. It is the address for World Connect. The instructions are on that site. Your Freepages are not for your family tree, but for creating a website (HTML). Do you have a web editor program such as FrontPage, Dream Weaver, Expression Web or Nvu etc.? If you have such a program you can create your web site and later upload it to your Freepages. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

If Freepages is not for genealogy why do they have a category named "genealogy_html"??? To give a good answer to the OP's original question- Most genealogy programs have a function to create a website from the database. Some are better at it than others. For example: A program named Gramps creates a very nice site, but it is impossible to edit it after it's created. The only thing you can do is create a whole new site and upload it. PAF creates a nice site that is easy to edit after it's created. Look in categories in your genealogy program under something like "Tools" or "Reports". Might take a bit of looking to find. On the other hand there are some programs that will create web sites directly from a GEDCOM. The one I used when I created my original site years ago was called GED2WWW. The site is simple and easy to edit and add material to with any web page creator software. It appears that GED2WWW is no longer being "supported, but it can still be found if you Google around a bit. There are many others available. Google is your friend. Most of these programs are free to use. On 05/23/2011 07:54 AM, Heidi Utley wrote: > Hi Carol, > > You should upload your ged file (family tree) to: > http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/.
