Family History Beginners Board / GEDCOM
« on: Sunday 23 August 15 01:53 BST (UK)  »
I have tried to search for more information about these but I can't find the answer I am looking for.  Does having a GEDCOM mean that users on any website and family tree software are linked together.  I.e will it show me connections with others in my line and thier contact details?

I have an ancestor from Fala who was Irish originally.  Her baby was born out of wedlock and she never appeared to have married.  The fathers surname was applied to the child.

As my ancestor was catholic and the nearest church was quite far, I have read that it is common for the baptism to be performed by anyone and just reported to the church. 

It might be the case, this is just a guess of course, that they had said that they will marry as soon as they could get time to go to the church?  Or maybe they couldn't be officialy married because they belonged to a different religion.

Hannah Greig who married John Ritchie is my 2nd great grandmother.  Is this the same Hannah that you are looking for?
