Hi Folks,
I received this on another family list and thought you would like to know
about it, especially if you don't already have a web page:
~~~~~~~~
You can upload your family file to RootsWeb for free! And, boy, is it great!
I just uploaded and it only took a few minutes. You have the option to
include "more about" notes or not, you can include your sources or not, you
can "clean" the info on your living folks---many options available.
First, you need to set up an account, so you can upload your file, and
later, to edit it (which I just did, also). Then, send it up! So easy and
so fast. It took HOURS to send it to the Family Tree Maker site. Just
minutes at RootsWeb, and it's much more complete. Also, you can add
"post-ems" to anyone's data, and you can be notified when someone adds a
post-em to yours, so that you can connect.
This is brand new, just got started yesterday, I think. There may be a few
bugs yet, but there's a message board where the fellow taking care of the
GEDs is posting responses to the suggestions. And he is fast.
Here's the URL:
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/
~~~~~~~~~
Even if you don't upload your info, it is a nice search site. As more
gedcoms are submitted, there will be more data to search.
TTYL,
Fran Daniels
