The GEDCOM file contains comprehensive details of all known connections of my family. This will only be readable by importing it into a genealaogy software package. Consistent with standard genealogical practice, living people are excluded except for myself and my wife (if I have inadvertently included a living person my apologies are offered, and this will be corrected on notification). 

Family History Files are text (.txt)  files with comprehensive details for the relevant family. If you do not use genealogy software this may be a convenient way of downloading information. Living people are excluded as per GEDCOM file.
