In answer to your question about GEDcom files and what it means. GEDcom
stands for GEnealogical Data COMmunication (GEDCOM) which is the standard
format for transferring genealogical files from one genealogical supported
computer program to another. It was developed by the Family History Dept.
of
the Church of Latter-day Saints (LDS).
Basically, what this means is, that you have to have a genealogy program
loaded into your computer to send or receive a gedcom file. This enables
you
to format all or part of your data files to be sent to any other computer
that has a program that can read your file. Or recieve and download a
gedcom
program, which can be read by your computer genealogy software.
The Help window on your genealogy program has step by step instructions on
how to export (send) and import (receive) gedcoms files.
Hope this helps.
