sharing genealogical info with others

[rgG]

If you do the free 14 day free trial at Ancestry.com, you can upload your info and then send links to your family and friends so they can view it. They are able to view your family tree info for free, and even print books and things from it, via the Ancestry store. If you have the info in the GED (I think that is the correct name) format, you can just upload it directly into the Ancestry form, so you do not have to re-key in the information. If you cancel your free 14 day membership before it is over, they will not charge your credit card. I just did this recently, and it worked very well. I did not send the links to relatives, but I did send "invitations" to myself, to see if it would work, and it did. Your relatives can also download the info, from the Ancestry website, as a GED file. There is at least one free GED reader, but I don't remember the name of it. I found the GED reader for Mac via Google.

You and your family can still view your uploaded info even after the free trial is over, you just can't us the Ancestry databases for research.
