The "Windows Help File Format" can be thought of as a genealogy book in electronic format. The "book" can be read by anybody using Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP (see instructions below for Windows Vista). No special genealogy software is required to read it. It is a very handy format for casual browsing of genealogy data, reading notes and biographies of individuals, and learning about relatives and relationships. No particular skill or knowledge of genealogy programs is required.
The Wheelock Genealogy Help files each have a title page, followed by a separate page for each individual in the genealogy. These pages show birth dates, death dates, sources, parents, children, and notes about that individual. Hypertext allows you to jump immediately to the page containing information about a spouse, parent, or child. There is an index of all individuals in the genealogy, as well as an index of placenames. In addition, there is a search capability that allows you to search for any word or combination of words in the "book". For example, searching for "Civil War" might yield a list of all individuals who fought in the Civil War, or who were somehow associated with the Civil War.
Like a book, the Wheelock Genealogy Help files allow you to create any number of bookmarks, and allow you to annotate the pages of the book with your own comments.
Unfortunately, Wheelock Genealogy Help files cannot be read on Macintosh Computers.
To view Windows Help files on the Windows Vista operating system, you will need to download the Windows help file viewer. Click here for the Microsoft help file viewer download page, then click the "Continue" button to start the download.
GEDCOM is a standard GEnealogy Data COMmunications format. Most genealogy programs are capable of reading this format, including Family Tree Maker and Brothers Keeper. If your genealogy program can't read GEDCOM format, it is probably time to look for a new program.
Portable Document Format files are readable on both PCs and MACs, are easily printable, and are fairly easy to browse, though not as quick as help files. To read PDF files, you must install the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If it is not already installed on your system, download a free copy by clicking the button below.
Zip files are compressed using the popular WinZip utility. The shortens download time. However, to decompress the file, you will need WinZip, which can be obtained for free at www.winzip.com.
Self extracting archives are compressed using the popular WinZip utility (www.winzip.com). This shortens download time. However, you don't need winzip to extract the file. To extract, run the downloaded file, using the START->RUN taskbar menu (or click on it in file explorer).
