Can someone on this list give me a pointer or two? After 11 years of researching, I decided to have a genealogy based web page.? I 'applied' for one at Rootsweb.? I currently am using FTM 2006.? What is the easiest way to put my tree (almost 5000 people) on a web page?? If there is software that can do it, does it protect privacy of living persons? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Karen

Karen, You didn't say which kind of account you applied for at rootsweb! It could be either freepages or worldconnect as I understand it. This might get a bit Off-topic if continued here? Join the FREEPAGES-HELP-L mailing list if that's what you applied for. The people there are incredibly helpful if you want to make a text website. Really great, helpful folks. ttp://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/ other/RootsWeb_Support/Freepages-Help.html If you want to upload a GEDCOM then Rootsweb World Connect Project is the place to go at rootsweb. Or check out http://tribalpages.com, another great place to upload your gedcom. I like tribalpages better for a family tree as I find it more user friendly. It is free unless you want to get their advanced features, and I do not know if there is a limit on tree size for free sites. Here are my sites if you want to see what I have done: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~thecohens http://blumstein.tribalpages.com All software and websites enable you to configure the level of privacy according to your personal preference. But I do not trust the results without checking them as there are mistakes that can and do happen in determining if people are living or deceased if they were born before, say, 1920 or 1930. Freepages at rootsweb is html pages. If you want to use family tree maker then there is a rootsweb mailing list specific to FTM issues at rootsweb. One of the FTM lists is the following: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Software/FTM-2008-HELP.html Oh, I see it is the wrong version. Uh, then search for the other FTM lists at rootsweb. There are several that are more general. You can "browse the archives" of a list to decide if it sounds like the right one for you. Use the following to find other lists: http://bigfile.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi- bin/listsearch Yes, there is an option in FTM as all family tree software, to create a gedcom. But I do not have that program. You should be able to call Ancestry.com's tech support for help with that issue if the mailing lists do not meet your needs, but I would guess they should. I hope that helps. On 6/6/08, Karen <kromeo@aol.com> wrote: > Can someone on this list give me a pointer or two? > > After 11 years of researching, I decided to have a genealogy based web > page.?
