Hi all Is it possible, once my tree has been created to download onto a floppy. If so hows it done. Cheers John

First you'll need 3 1/2 floppy disks which you can get at your local PC dealer or where ever PC supplies are sold. Insert the floppy disk in your A Drive (the small slotted opening on the front of your PC.) 1. Find your tree file on your PC and RIGHT click on it. 2. A box will appear. From the box choose SEND TO and then choose 3 1/2 Floppy A. Your files are now backed up off of your computer. Remember to remove the floppy disk from the A drive as your PC won't be able to boot up next time you start it until the disk is removed. Judy

John, IF you mean that you are creating your tree ON HERE, rather than in a separate program, then you'll need to wait until GC introduce the ability to export it to a GEDCOM format file...
