I am NOT the best at explaining so please bear with me!!! A gedcom is a Genealogical Exchange Data COMmunication or also know as a GEnealogical Data COMmunication. Your genealogy program should offer this tool. If you would like to try an excelent genealogical program which offers gedcom capabilities, visit http://www.bkwin.htm This is the link for Brother's Keeper Genealogical Program and I, personally, think it is the best ever written. It id downloadable in a "ShareWare" version which is FREE. It does NOT have a trial time so once you get your info cataloged it doesn't lock you out of the program. It is a very simple, reliable, and thorough program. I've used BK for approximately 18 years. In that time I have tried MANY other programs but I've always ended up back with BK!!! Back to How to create a gedcom!!! What a gedcom does is take your preselected information from your genealogy program and compress it into a file which is recognizable to "other" genelogy programs. Once the file is constructed and compressed you can send it to another researcher in the ged format where your information can be imported into the other person's program. Be sure when you export your gedcom file that you select GED as the extention!!! The imported gedcom is generally 90% or more, readable. The percentage depends strictly on the compatablity of the two programs. On occasion, some of the fields (resources for example) might be listed differently in simi-compatable programs and that drops the percentage of readability. I just uploaded a file to the RESOURCE Page that explains the process of creating a gedcom for 26? different genealogy programs. The address is http://www.vaughan-vaughn.org/create-gedcom.htm If you don't see your particular manufacturer listed, try the "generic" ged creation instructions. If that fails, contact me and I will help as much as possible. If you have any other questions, please drop me an e-mail. I am more than happy to help. Best of luck, Linda PS!! Again, I would like to suggest, when naming your gedcom, consider using your e-mail address for the name of the file!! Using your address will eleviate submitting a gedcom with the same name (ie Vaughan or Vaughn!) thus minimizing any confusion as to the submitter! lwelden <lwelden@lightspeed.net> 2008-08-23T12:53:41-06:00 [VAUGHN] creating a gedcom http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/VAUGHN/2008-08/1219476453 I just uploaded a page with some instruction for creating a gedcom. If you would like to add your information to the database, you will need to submit a gedcom so I am hoping this will help members understand how to create this type of file.

Also the father of Obedience Vaughan's lineage who married John Mitchell)? There were also Vaughan's around Cumberland Co. VA and Powhatan and Goochland counties in Va. such as: Joseph Vaughan m. Henrietta Rochet/Michaux; and Edmund Vaughan m. Sally Neville. If anyone plans to join the Vaughan DNA project please let me know. It is the best way to find the correct lines of all the different Vaughan's in Virginia in the 1700's. Thank you. Mary "gen42" <gen42@comcast.net> 2008-06-26T14:11:27-06:00
