A GEDCOM is a common file format that allows genealogists to exchange information about their ancestors. A GEDCOM file can be created using genealogy software that allows you to export your data in GEDCOM format. If you have one, you can upload your GEDCOM file in the GEDCOM section of your personal page.

A GEDCOM is a common file format that allows genealogists to exchange information about their ancestors. A GEDCOM file can be created using genealogy software that allows you to export your data in GEDCOM format. Your group members will have the opportunity to upload their own GEDCOM files to their personal pages. This will allow other matches to review their direct paternal or maternal line (depending on the test). You can find about using your GEDCOM at your software here: http://www.familytreedna.com/about-gedcom.aspx or you can use this page to create one: http://www.rogerarrick.com/yged/ftdna.
