[or-roots] A QUESTION OF IGNORANCE

[Ray Powell]

In trhe computer programs that I have used they all had a command under the
file menu called 'export' that then gave you the option of what format you
wanted to export your family file in and then you select 'ged' or 'gedcom'
and the computer will make a new file with the extension of .ged that can be
then imported into every genealogy program that I am aware of. If you need
more specific instructions, let me know which program you are using and I'll
see if I can be any help.
