Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder Match ... importance of GEDCOM ... emphasis
Ok I did this and now I see how it works for transporting the info from one program to another, one more question. It gave me the option to choose a format, Ansel and one or 2 others, is one more preferred over the other? which is the best one to choose?
