I really seem to've stuck a nerve when I asked if some "kind soul" could
help
me with GEDCOM. Well, there's an awful lot of 'kind souls' out there and I
thank each and every one for their time and concern. There were also a few
"ignorant souls," such as myself, who were curious to know more about GEDCOM,
too. I'm sending this along for anyone who wants it. Here are some URLs for
sites to visit:

And these kind words from Cary: "You've gotten some great information from
others, but I think you need to remember that GEDCOMs "happen" and that like
when you use your washimachine you need to know the basic instructions (how
much soap, etc.), you don't need to really know how the machine is configured
(electrical systems and all that). A long way of saying , relax and enjoy
using your software and don't et overwhelmed."
I'm not the best typist in the world, in Florida, or even in my own house, so
I hope I haven't made any mistakes where they would count in all the above.
Hope this helps some of you and serves as a reference.
I love this genealogy!
