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:

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com

On April 24, 2001, typing Hogg into their search engine yields 5580 results.
