Hi Nancy, I have read the term "gedcom" for a couple years -- feel really illiterate, but, what is a "gedcom"? Alice

Alice, Gedcom is an abbreviation for Genealogy Data Communication. If you have a genealogy program such as Family Tree Maker or Brother's Keeper, you have the ability to exchange information with any other program. GEDCOMs can be read by any genealogy program.
