    Gedcom Databases -  RootsWeb Introduces WorldConnect

    The RootsWeb Cooperative has long been known as one of the best online communities for genealogists. especially for U.S.-based genealogists.

    Their latest addition is a large (and growing) database of
    individual genealogical data known as WorldConnect. The WorldConnect
    database is built around the widely-used GEDCOM file standard that
    allows family historians to share their data with others, even if
    they have different computers or use different software.

    The WorldConnect project allows genealogists anywhere in the world to
    upload their data to the service without fee, to modify that data
    whenever they need to, and to share it with other genealogists -- all
    without cost. Access to the WorldConnect database is available via
    the World Wide Web.

    WorldConnect launched with data on approximately 5.5 million people,
    has already reached the six million mark, and is expected to grow
    rapidly. Genealogists wishing to add their names to this effort are
    invited to do so through the Web, or by sending the data to the
    WorldConnect project on floppy disc or Zip disc.

    The Web address for the project is:
