GEDCOM Files GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunication, is a specification for exchanging genealogical data between different genealogical systems. It was developed by The Church of the Later Day Saints as an aid in their extensive genealogical research. A GEDCOM file is plain text containing records for each individual in the family tree, and data linking these records together. Most (if not all) genealogy software supports importing from and/or exporting exporting to GEDCOM format. You will normally find the import/export facility under the file menu in most programmes Even genealogists using Macintoshes can share their GEDCOMS with PC users. e.g.Your great-aunt may not use the same software that you use, you’ll need to share your family history in a file format that anyone can open. That format is GEDCOM. 1. When you send the data decide what sort of chart you would like, Descendant, Ancestor etc. 2. Tell me the name of the individual that you want to be the starting point for your chart, along with some detail information such as a reference no, place & date of birth to ensure that I have the right person. 3. Tell me how many generations you wish to include and select the information that you wish to include include for each individual [see order form ]. 4. Complete as much of the order form as possible but leave the chart size blank. 5. How to send your chart file to Acorns2oaks send it by post to Acorns2oaks with the chart on a 3.5 disk, a CD or a 100MB zip disc or you can send the chart via the internet as and e.mail attachment. 6. I will contact you with a quote for the price and size of your chart. At this stage you can cancel, change or order your chart. PDF Files Some
programmes will let you save your chart and export it as a PDF (Portable
Document Format) file if you wish you can save it in this format and send the
