Upon ordering the Family Genealogy program:<\/strong>
Click on “Download: (Name) Genealogy Download”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will send you a ZIP file, your computer should automatically use its own software to download the zip file. Using this program, select the download file by clicking once on the file name (Name_GM.GED) then select \u201cExtract\u201d from the ZIP program you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ZIP program will ask you for a location to save the program to, make note of this, or change the location from “Downloads” to “Desktop”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After un-zipping the file, you can open your family tree building software and import the downloaded GEDCOM files from the location you previously saved them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t already have a family tree building software, there are many FREE applications available to download, and depending on your operating system, simply double-clicking the downloaded file may open a menu of applications for you to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
