Submit Your GEDCOM To:

WorldConnect at RootsWeb.com
Ancestry World Tree at Ancestry.com
World Family Tree at FamilyTreeMaker.com
Genealogical GEDCOM Server System at GenServ.com


Please submit your family tree in GEDCOM format to WorldConnect.
Why WorldConnect? Because it is free to search through and can be viewed several ways.
By submitting your information you are helping your cousins.


What is a GEDCOM?
GEDCOM is a standard computer file format that allows you to share your family tree with others.


How do you create a GEDCOM file?

1. Since a GEDCOM file is a computer file, you naturally need to have a computer first.
2. You need to have a genealogy software program installed on your computer. (see below!)
3. Enter your relatives' information into the program.
4. Finally, follow the instructions in the program's Help section to create a GEDCOM file.
Before sharing your GEDCOM file with others, make sure they also have a genealogy software
program installed on their computers. (No need to worry about that with the above sites.)


Don't have a genealogy software program?
You can download one here for FREE!
