Hi Adrian, First of all, I would like to say that I am pleased to find that I have been placed in a group (48) right off the bat. I really didn't expect such results so soon. I matched 25/25 with Richard. He did the 25 marker and I did the 37. I would like to see what the results would be for all 37 markers. I don't know about the rest of the participants, but I really don't know how to generate a Gedcom file. Maybe if you can walk everyone through the process, there would be more response for the uploading of pedigrees. Thanks, Trent __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
