[Genealib] Re: GEDCOM in the Library

[DearMYRTLE]

Just wondering about the library's liability with regards to
right-to-privacy of living individuals whose information may appear in the
GEDCOM files.

I think maybe my original question was misunderstood.

We have a cd in a Library manuscript collection (possibly more than one,
potentially more coming someday, although we do strongly discourage them,
they just show up and we try to cope!).  It is not something we are going to
post online.  We don't want to get other stuff from online.  We are just
trying to determine what would be a suitable program to use to access the
file here in the Library.  Also, would we be better off storing it as a PAF
file or FTM file or whatever, or storing it as a GEDCOM.  We are concerned
about our need for long-term migration to ensure access.

 

I appreciate the information about the changes that have been made to GEDCOM
format over time.
Sorry for the confusion.


Thanks,

Jane
