Download now - the beginnings of a brand-new genealogy project - Now offering for free download: Re Gramps genealogy software: I have decided to recommend Gramps but not to use it here: instead, a ged.com file (a huge file now named "dan1.ged") will be regularly exported from my copy of PAF5 so that netsurfers can continue to use their own software of their own choice plus use this ged.com file. The type of Gedcom output that PAF5 exports is: Other GEDCOM 5.5 "dan1.ged " Download it now!
And it is a huge file as it consists of 772469 individals/353727 marriages. So use it on your computer while you are asleep or are doing something non-computer!) As research it was part of a new book of modern history, Merchant Networks - (15 years/three drafts in the research and writing.) Merchant Networks, 1760-1860. (Co-researched and co-written with Ken Cozens in London, a follow up to The Blackheath Connection by Dan Byrnes): More family history - go now to pathways files now being rewritten re convict transportation to North America, then Australia, (a chartered ship business, not a naval business) and re the crewing of the convict ships from the time of the First Fleet: 1788.Pathways files
This is good. It's the genealogy (now for you in shareable software named Gramps) - the research that's behind the book, Merchant Networks. That's right, it is the product since 1993 of years of preoccupation with genealogy, putting mostly English historical names in their right place while other things happen. Now you can do the same for/with your own research, and using software of your own choice - once you have successfully imported this gedcom file. Download it now.
