Following are links to sources to download freeware (no cost) programs
that will allow you to view (and in some cases edit) GEDCOM files without
having to purchase a full-featured genealogy program although I highly
recommend you purchase a program to get the full use of the GEDCOMs and
to record your data.
Note: I do not endorse or have any financial interest in any of
these programs or companies. I only list them as potential resources and
take no responsibility regarding their functionality or any consequences
of their use.
