Ascii text (.txt) files are preferred. Non-text will be converted to text before storing. If you have created a .doc, .wri, .xls, .dbf, etc. file, please save it "as text" in your software program, and assign a ".txt" extension to the filename. Hard "tabs" are not encouraged, as they do not translate the same on all browsers. Please use "5 hard spaces" in place of tabs.

File managers are usually proficient at converting files to text, so don't be overly concerned with conversions.

What kind of files are accepted? Bible records, deeds, wills, estate records, family biographies, cemetery records, obituaries, etc. We appreciate single entries as well as lists. Please read The USGenWeb Project Archives Guidelines.
