Testing out GEDCOM feature

[Amy K]

I'm just testing the GEDCOM feature

[Amy K]

Does it work???

[Welsh Jen]

Seems to work fine, viewed Henry Fordham June 5 1895 & through generations to a  James Fordham early 1800's

Through my Family Tree maker

The attachement we read is in plain text with much linear punctuation.

[Amy K]

Hackstaple, I have NO idea what you just said. 

[Hackstaple]

OK Amy K - when I open the attachment it is a plain text list. There is no tabular or other form of organisation. there may be the necessity to read it through a special programme that can read GEDCOM files - ask Bob in Berlin.
I'm only reporting what I see.

The file downloaded into FH with no major problems ... quite a few minor "irregularities" but this was more to do with the different version of gedcom.

Re Hackstaple viewing it as a text file ... this is perfectly normal unless you have a gedcom viewer or program set up to accept gedcom files. In my own case I use FH to handle all gedcom files.

I have GenoPro and it opened with no probs at all.
This is what it looks like on mine

Well yes - you can attach GEDcoms to all RootsChat messages - obviously if people just "open" them without some kind of GEDcom viewer of some sort then they will look garbled!
