Gedcom files?
« on: July 21, 2007, 04:13:16 PM »
Someone has sent me a gedcom file with details of my family tree.

And I don't know how to open it!  Windows doesn't recognise the file.  ph34r

Please help!

If you just want to view the file you've been sent, you can download a free Gedcom viewer HERE. If you want to create your own family tree database & import the file you've been sent, you'll have to install some genealogy software (eg Family Tree Maker)
