WORLDCONNECT TIP:
Searchable Database or WorldConnect?



You have a genealogical collection you might like to submit for RootsWeb programmers to transform into a searchable database. Consider whether your file might be better suited for WorldConnect. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/

Files that are more suitable for WorldConnect include one-name studies or any compiled records (for example, of immigrants who settled in a given community, cemetery records, church records) in a database that is stored in a genealogy program and so can be converted easily to a GEDCOM and submitted to WorldConnect.

WorldConnect has specialized features designed to make your file customizable and universally searchable. Flexibility in the display of your data, the capability of allowing others to download portions of your GEDCOM, as well as allowing you to download the entire file, are features that often make WorldConnect the better choice.
