Gedcom advice please
« on: Tuesday 03 June 08 09:57 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters, as a relative 'noob' to this, I find myself now needing to receive Gedcom files and would like to know if anyone has advice on what software to get. For instance, what should I go for, where from, how much should I spend, is there a free download etc.,etc.
                         Any comments welcome,  Hol.
