I have a question. Can the PAF program be downloaded to GEDCOM 7 ? If not, could I download to another GEDCOM, that would be compatible with GEDCOM 7 ? I have over 7,000 names on the PAF program.

Thanks, Linda Chandler

PAF was discontinued in 2013. The last version of GEDCOM available at that time was GEDCOM 5.5. You can export a GEDCOM 5.5 from PAF.

How do I create a GEDCOM in FamilySearch in order to build a tree at myFTDNA? I just can't find out how to go about it. I know I did once before when I got Legacy for another PC, but I don't remember what I did to make it work. Please help!

Please check out this Help Center article:

How do I download information from Family Tree?

Rodolfo Stangherlin

@Amy Archibald that article points to the Solution Center, but there are no results searching there for GEDCOM.

Is there a way to SHARE the data from familysearch to other people?

Amy Archibald

@Rodolfo Stangherlin

You cannot GEDCOM out from FamilySearch, but you can sync with other compatible solutions - like Ancestral Quest and RootsMagic. That is one way to share the data from the FamilySearch Family Tree. Another way is to have those interested create their own free FamilySearch account.
