Help other researchers (your new cousins) find your work. Upload your GEDCOM file today to GEDCOMLIBRARY.COMGEDCOM Index and GEDCOMLIBRARY.COM are simple websites for sophisticated genealogists. On 9 July 2022, the process of consolidating GEDCOMINDEX.COM into GENEALOGY.BIO began.

The roles of different genealogy websites:

Ancestry.com: Costs money. Provides lots of records. You can upload a GEDCOM file, but they jealously guard it and let other customers read pieces of material from it. They cannot download the GEDCOM file. Nobody else can correct or otherwise change your material. When you message new cousins, often they don’t know what a GEDCOM file is.

FamilySearch.org: Free. Provides lots of records, and even more are available if you access the site from a Family History Center. You cannot upload a GEDCOM file, so you have to add each person individually. This is lots of work but it can help you catch blunders. Other users can change your material, and sometimes they get it wrong.

GEDCOMlibrary.com and GENEALOGY.BIO: Free. Provide no records. Simple websites for sophisticated genealogists. These help researchers find each other through GEDCOM files. https://genealogy.bio/GEDCOM_Index indexes thousands of GEDCOM files (on other websites) by place name, helping you find the researcher working on the same ancestors. You will still need access to records to verify what is in those GEDCOM files. Upload your GEDCOM files today.

Other websites: There are other websites that want your GEDCOM file but they also jealously guard it. They don’t let other people download the whole GEDCOM file. Accessibility shouldn’t be a problem unless you want royalties.

REMEMBER! After you download a GEDCOM file, open it in a NEW FOLDER in your genealogy software!

This site indexes thousands of different GEDCOM files found on other web sites. GEDCOM files are special genealogy files that can be imported into any genealogy software.

Be sure to check Sorted By Name.com to find transcription projects where your ancestors are listed, even if you don’t yet know where they went.
