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. 1. Decide what sort of chart you would like, Descendant, Ancestor etc. 2. Tel 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.
