Before creating a TinyTafel, GED2TT allows you to modify your
GEDCOM file by changing capitalization of individual names and
abbreviating state names. GED2TT will then create a TinyTafel file
from the GEDCOM file. A TinyTafel is a summary of a data file
which lists all surnames in the file, the number of times each
surname is found, oldest and youngest birth dates of each surname
and geographic area where the surnames resided. This is a useful
summary of data to share with other genealogists about your data
or for doing genealogy research with other software data bases.
You may submit your TinyTafel to any node on the computer bulletin
board network known as the National Genealogy Conference (NGC)
which contains a program called the Tafel Matching System (TMS).
You can then use TMS to search other data bases over the entire
NGC network using the information in your TinyTafel as a basis for
matching, within the constraints you select. To get more
information about NGC and TMS contact COMMSOFT,Inc, 2257 Old
Middlefield Way, Mountain View, CA 94903 (415)967-1900, or you may
sign-on to the COMMSOFT BBS at (415)967-6730.
The GEDCOM file may be created by PAF GIE-GEDCOM or by GENE
GEDCOMG. GEDCOM files created by GENE GEDCOMG do not contain any
place data whereas PAF GEDCOM files do contain place data. Header
data is read from the gedcom file or you can enter the "header"
information (i.e. your name, address, etc) to be placed in the
TinyTafel file. The TinyTafel file created by GED2TT will have
the same name as the GEDCOM file except that the extension of the
name will be changed to (.TT). A second GEDCOM file may be added
to the TinyTafel. Each name is also soundex coded.
