GEDCOM FILES

WHAT IS A GEDCOM FILE?

    The GEDCOM means Genealogical Data Communications and its format is a standard ASCII format. Your genealogical program downloads your family data into this format and can be sent to other researchers and their program will be able to "read" your data. This makes the exchange of information between computer programs very easy.
