You may submit a GEDCOM file for GenServ via the postal service. The file must be sent on a 3.5 inch high floppy disk (in a diskette mailer) as either an ASCII file or compressed with PKZIP, in MSDOS format to produce a MSDOS-compatible diskette.

Please test read the diskette on a DOS system before mailing it (if possible.)

• Diskettes will not be returned to the sender.
• Do Not put staples in checks
• If name of subscriber is not on check, please put it.
• Make sure you actually copied the file onto the diskette: do a "directory" on that diskette before sending it.
• Put your email address on the diskette label before you seal up the mailer.

• PLEASE READ THIS: if you do not put
  your email address in the package when mailed
  ! ! ! ! I will not attempt to contact you. ! ! ! ! !
  I still receive 2 or 3 diskette packages a week
  with no email address ! ! ! ! ! ! !

• Please do not write-protect the diskette.
• Do not staple check to piece of paper.
• Do not hand write the piece of paper, type it.
• Include in the diskette mailer a piece of paper on which you have TYPED your EMAIL ADDRESS, postal street address, city, state, zip, country, and your telephone number in email message to:
  Email: gs1 (at) genserv.com

• Please read that again carefully: we need your diskette and an information sheet.
  
  I receive diskettes every week and packages which do not contain an email address. Do not be one of those. ! ! ! !
  
  Because your email address is your key to using GenServ, this information must be clearly typed. If you don't include it, or it isn't legible, you can't be given access to the system.
  
  On the day you mail your diskette, send an email Cliff Manis saying that you have mailed the diskette. This serves as a confirmation for your email address. Your email address is critical to the whole process. Without it, we cannot contact you to give you access nor can others contact you if they wish to share data.
  
  Your only contact with GenServ is via email. If you do not have an email address, you will not be able to use the GenServ System. Whenever you request reports from GenServ in the future, they will be sent only to the email address on file.
  
  If your database contains over 30,000 surnames, please contact Cliff Manis for special instructions for sending it to the GenServ system. The system already has a few databases containing over 50,000 names each. Your database will not be too large for us to load.
