There are a variety of methods in which to store family history data. The most common is to use the Gedcom data format, a universally accepted format among genealogists. Another method uses a software program called Family Tree Maker to store data in a proprietary data format. There are literally scores of different formats in which to store family history data. FTM has a slight advantage over Gedcom in that is has added features, e.g., each piece of information can be referenced to it's source.
