Discover the essential ins and outs of GEDCOM files and their use in family history and genealogy.  Beginning with an introduction to GEDCOM—what it is and why it’s indispensable in genealogical research, the features of GEDCOM files will then be explained, along with what they do and don’t include.  Practical considerations of how to create and use GEDCOM files will also be explored as well as some possible future developments with regards to these file types.  This webinar is designed to assist beginning and experienced genealogists in understanding, using and making the best use of GEDCOM files.

So, if you’re puzzled when someone says, “Download a GEDCOM” or not really sure how to “Backup your Tree to a GEDCOM file,” this webinar is for you.  Time will be allocated for questions as well to ensure you are comfortable in using this technology.
