A GEDCOM file is a special genealogy data exchange
file that can be created by and imported into most genealogy computer programs
and NOT useable in a word processing program. If you do not have a genealogy
computer program with GEDCOM capabilities, you will need a special
program to view the GEDCOM files.Click here for some sources
for PC and Mac freeware programs to view GEDCOMs.
Following are my most-requested GEDCOMs. All have been checked for viruses
and have been compressed in self-extracting archives for either the PC or
Mac. Click on the appropriate version for your computer (PC or Mac) and
you'll be taken to the download page.
Once you have downloaded the compressed file onto your hard drive or
desktop, just double click on the downloaded file and it will automatically
expand to a usable GEDCOM file for viewing or importing.
I plan to add additional GEDCOM files from time to time (please feel
free to e-mail me to suggest
some).
NONE OF THE GEDCOMS BELOW CONTAIN THE ENTIRE DATABASE.
If you need a GEDCOM of another family in my database that is not in one
of the downloadable GEDCOMs below, e-mail
me and I'll email you a GEDCOM of the line(s) you want. However, please
be specific on which family/pedigree you want (name of ancestor and if you
want his/her ancestors and/or descendents).
