Clan MacLennan-Worldwide Database

We have chosen a single location, GenCircles, where you can upload your ancestor files and store them for free!

By contributing your data, GenCircles helps you to find new relations. As well, every few hours, GenCircles will run, "SmartMatch", which is a search engine on their server to locate any of your ancestors on other GenCircles users' family trees. GenCircles keeps all information about living relatives confidential.

GEDCOM, is an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunication, is a specification for exchanging genealogical data between different genealogy software. GEDCOM was developed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an aid to genealogical research. GenCircles accepts genealogical data in the generic "GEDCOM" format. You can email your GEDCOM file to me at dmac44@rogers.com or click here at GenCircles http://www.GenCircles.com/register to register and upload your gedcom file(s) yourself.

To help you collect profiles of each of your ancestors, visit our Research Guide at http://www.clanmaclennan-worldwide.com/research/research.htm to begin tracing your MacLennan ancestors. If you already have your family data in the commercial program like Family Tree Maker you can save all your data in one OR more GEDCOM files. Click here to find out how. --> http://www.clanmaclennan-worldwide.com/research/help.htm.

You can also create a GEDCOM file for uploading to GenCircles with most other genealogy programs. Refer to our Beginner's Guide for some comments on alternative programs. Once saved, you can send it to me by emailat dmac44@rogers.com or upload it yourself at GenCircles.

If you have any questions about how to load your ancestors to our Clan database, please contact me at the email address below.

I am working with various clan sources to load data held in other forms to the GenCircles database.
