Midgley Gedcom

Midgley Gedcom Page.

Over the last few years many contributors to the Midgley Web Pages have developed a variety of methods to store their family trees [pedigrees].
One of the more concise methods has been to use family tree software e.g. 'Family Tree Maker', Ancestry.com, or the freeware 'Personal Ancestral File' [PAF].
I find the latter to be intuitive and very adequate, exporting the data in the form of a 'GEDCOM' is a few clicks of the mouse button. A Ged or Gedcom file allows others to import and share the data on their own Gedcom compliant family tree software. For this reason I have started to collect these files together which can be downloaded from this page.
If you have any Gedcom files of your own to share please email them to the contact address at the bottom of this page so that they may be included.

To download the free Personal Ancestral File [PAF] go to Family Search then click on the 'Order/Download Products' tab and then 'Software Downloads [free]', choose to download PAF 5.0 or later version.

Don't be too worried about the fact that the site is run by the Mormon Church, in five years I have not had them knocking on my door! [touch wood].

Personally, I have endeavoured to omit any living individuals from my submissions although some people work on the 'hundred year rule'. Thus before exporting I would suggest you copy your file and modify it if you intend to share it with others through this site [again PAF makes this easy]. I look forward to some of your submissions.
In this way we may be able to begin the task of linking the various branches of the Midgley families together, collectively this is not an insurmountable challenge........
