It would seem rather odd that it > wouldn't import their own data transfer file... Then probably I am confusing it with another software name. But I tried three genealogy programs which could not import GED (note: only freeware and, for those programs which required purchase, their free edition with limited features). This is why I asked for a suggestion on this NG. I am a newbie in genealogy and, as GedLink seems to be defunct, I thought GED format could have been obsoleted -- which would have made my research for a software far from trivial. Thanks to all for your suggestions.
