Hope this post is ok here?

Like most of you I would imagine there is a point where you gather enough information and need to confirm and consolidate it into a format that can be shared.

I was lucky enough to find so much information for free with regard to my Rogers family, it was all there in the Ancestral Files at the Mormon (CLDS)website "Familysearch" and it is my aim to add my family tree information to that site so that others can possibly use it in their own search.

I'm told that my information needs to be saved in a Gedcom file which is compatible with all (most) systems in use. It seems that there are quite a few gedcom formats available at differnet prices, I just thought "you" may point me in the right direction and recommend which I should go for.

Thanks for any advice you may offer. Fred Beach
