If any of you are interested! "MACSTER". I'd like to get as many Mc?nt?re GEDCOMS as there are in the world and put them all down on CD. Or have them traded between us. If any of you would like to donate their GEDCOMS or if any of you know of a good way of doing this. Wouldn't it be great if there was a CD that you could search through that had it all there. We wouldn't have to read all these posts and cross check every Mary Mc we see to the one or two that we have in our own records. With these CD writers that are becoming standard on most new PC'S it will be the way of the future. We could trade our GEDCOMS or CD'S. A bit like a NAPSTER type thing. GEDCOMS are available at the moment on ROOTSWEB but I haven't yet uploaded mine. I will start downloading all the GEDCOMS from ROOTSWEB that have a lot of Mc content in them and start putting them on a CD and see what happens. Providing ROOTSWEB will allow this. I don't think they have a copyright on donated GEDCOMS. I don't intend this to be a 'for profit' type exercise. There are a lot of Genealogy companies that will be doing this or are doing this now. Then we'll have to pay for work that has been done by us. Any comments please.
