Sharing Family History

[DavyTee68]

I'm trying to think of the best way to display my family history to share with other members of my family in an easy to read format something like a blog maybe.
A few questions to those that have done this.
Can I show census and birth indexes  records on a blog or are they copyrighted?
Is a blog the best way to go or are there better methods out there on the net.
Most family members won't want to read through sources so want the most lay man method available.
Any help or ideas welcome thanks

Hi Davey

There is a bit of free s/w which converts some basic GED detail to web-html.

Name/birth/death/marriage and relationships(sideways)

Basic but free = google GED2HTML

If you look at their site and see eamples but then still want to see a real one in action then
PM me.

OR

Use Gedxlate to convert the ged file to spreadsheet/csv or WORD/txt

I've used GEDxlate for years - it's simple but VERY effective – a great little program for listing all your family data…
Am now trying to install GEDxlate onto an (I think) Windows 10 desktop machine,
but I get a run-time error...

Can anyone suggest anything please?

Don't know anything about GEDxlate, but if it's an oldish 16-bit program you may have to run it under W-10 in a DOSbox.  I do that with my old DataEase systems, using a DOSbox prog I got from a Dutch guy.  Have a Google search ....

Thanks for the suggestion!!
I will look for DOSbox.

Just found and uploaded Oxy-Gen, which thou' similar isn't as good...

Andy, I emailed you a pointer to a website giving details of the device I use, so check your spam-box if you've not seen it.  It's not DOSbox, which I think is a less capable gadget.
