If you are reading this, then you are in the wrong place.  The order of presentation was changed, and this file is not yet ready.  It has a bunch of stuff that I don't want to erase yet, and I'm too busy to fix the links to it, so I apologize -- you got here by mistake.

Question for the day:
April -- GEDCOM Tricks: Splitting, Merging, and Transferring Family Trees
May -- Putting Your Family Tree Online/Sharing Information with Relatives
June -- Importing/Exporting and Using PAF's Match/Merge Features
Where should the dividing line be between April's presentation and June's?  (i.e., why am I such a dunderhead?  Am I just getting older?)

Very rough outline, to be completed later (sorry, faithful readers):

GEDCOM, the Genealogical Data Communications specification, is a file format that lets different genealogical computer programs share data with each other.  Way more than you really want to know can be found by following the links here.

different versions of GEDCOM, which to choose

Splitting Family Trees
relationship filters

Merging Family Trees
using two databases at once

Transferring Family Trees
