The Members of the #htmlhelp got together one Sunday morning for our regular
Chat
session, and one of our members (our own DearMYRT) mentioned an idea for this
project.
We started with a common GEDCOM file, but ran into problems with some of the
programs having problems importing the new 5.5 GEDCOM. So we have narrowed the
scope of our project to just the output of programs that produce stand alone
HTML pages.
We have also had volunteers to try some of the Shareware programs out there
that change GEDCOM files into HTML. So if you are one of the many people who
use Family Tree Maker, and don't want to give them your GEDCOM file to put up
on their site. We have alternatives for you to look at. just use the link for
Family Tree Maker and you will go to another page with information on all the
Shareware options out there.
If you would like to read a statement of what our project is about and the specifics of it,
we have our Project Statement
