Here is how to send your GEDCOM to us.
Thank you for your willingness to share Bucklin family information. The
Bucklin Society attempts to maintain a database of all known Bucklins. The
exchange of genealogical information is a happy event.
GEDCOM is a standard that allows one computer
program to package information so that a second computer can read it into the
second computer, without retyping all the information. (GEDCOM means Genealogy
Electronic Data Communication.) Send your GEDCOM file. That really means a lot to us, because:
- 1. we want all the details we can get on Bucklins, and
- 2. with a GEDCOM the information can be added promptly and efficiently.
Our volunteers’ time to enter
material submitted by paper is very limited and your paper submission may sit
in a pile for months. If you send a GEDCOM electronic file attached to an email, we can enter data much faster.
Your computer genealogy program has instructions how to make a GEDCOM file to
send your information to others.
Send what you have. We will worry about the organization instead of you. We can
use anything you send us.
Do not wait to “finish” or “perfect” or complete items. You can
always send us an updated GEDCOM later.
We want sending us a GEDCOM to be as easy for you as it can be. We look at
each name you send, and we eliminate extra and collateral lines. We look at the
listed sources to edit sources to our format style. I repeat: We want sending us
a GEDCOM to be as easy for you as it can be.
And, when we publish the information that is merged into our database, we
eliminate details about living persons (only showing that the person exists).
Please send your
GEDCOM as an attachment to an email addressed to us.
To get our email address -- use our "Contact Us" button and send us a
contact form, telling us you have a GEDCOM to send us. We will send you an
email, so that you have our email address. Send the email to us at File4U @ Bucklin Society. Net
(This method makes it easy for you to simply "reply" to our email, yet prevents spammers' automatic robots
harvesting our email address from this web page.)
