To transfer family files between your device and PC, GedFamilies requires either a Wi-Fi network or a USB connection via iTunes. The USB option utilizes iTunes File Sharing, necessitating iOS version 3.2 or higher.

A companion program, GedFamilies Sync, is required for file transfers, which can be downloaded at no cost from www.telgen.co.uk/gedfamilies.

A sample family file is included with the application.

User support and information exchange are facilitated through a dedicated forum available at www.telgen.co.uk/gedfamilies/forum.
