- A Tiny Tafel file is a summary of all your ancestors. The file contains the
- soundex code and each unique last name of your ancestors in each of your
- family lines. It also contains the birth date and place of the first known
- ancestor in each line, and the birth date and place of the most recent
- descendant with that last name.
- Your data file will be read and the Tiny Tafel file will be created for you.
- You may then print the file, and you may use a special editor, such as TTGEN12
- to edit the file to your liking. The file may then be uploaded to a computer
- bulletin board which has the Tafel Matching System. Then others who have also
- created a Tiny Tafel file will be notified if they are searching for ancestors
- which match yours, and you can request a search of other people's Tafel files.
- If you want a list of the phone numbers of bulletin boards, you may write to
- John Steed and request the list. Here are two BBS numbers, and these boards
- contain files about Tiny Tafels and lists of other BBS numbers. Before you
- upload your Tiny Tafel to a BBS, you should run it through TTGEN12. When
- using the TTGEN12 program, you should add locations where they are missing.
- Playworld BBS, Charlestown, SC (803) 764-0343
- ROOTS BBS, San Francisco, CA (415) 584-0697
