FTM
Three FTM (Family Tree Maker) files contain the complete set of information I have about the Sinnock family:
Sinnocks and Kin (maintained)
Sinnock Royals Vikings Romans & Gods (completed, May 2016)
Sinnock Name Variants (completed May 2016)
The files can be read (and edited) only with Family Tree Maker Version 2017 or later by, currently, MacKeiv Software. The files are downloaded as ZIP files, extracted by any file navigator. After extraction the ZIP files can be deleted. For the first two databases extracted files contain subfolders of media files, all JPG's. These subfolders must remain in the same folder (directory) as the FTM files for images to appear in the open files; otherwise extracted folders can be moved anywhere.
Click the red FTM column heading for more information about types of database files and versions uploaded to the internet.
GED
GED files (or commonly GEDCOM files, for |GE|nealogical |D|ata |COM|munnication) are standard format shared by all genealogical programs. I am unable to link more than one image with any individual, so media folders associated with the
Sinnocks and Kin
and
Sinnock Royals Vikings Romans & Gods
are available for download separately. I apologize for ineptitude in linking media (images) to GED files, but darned if I can find a way. The GEDCOM files (as well as the associated media folders) need to be exracted from the downloaded ZIP files. After extraction the ZIP files can be deleted and associated GED files can be moved anywhere.

Ancestry
Full versions of
Sinnocks and Kin
and
Sinnocks Royals Vikings Romans & Gods
databases were uploaded to Ancestry.com, a proprietary, for profit site. There are two options to view (and edit) the databases:
Sign-up for a free temporary account on Ancestry.com. This option gives limited access to search options of Ancestry.com as well as access to all public sites, as are both. I don't know how on their 'new and improved site' to go directly to a given database, such as the two mentioned here, only how to seach by individuals. If you enter "Sinnock" in the site's search engine 'last name' box, many databases will show up. Good luck.
Let me know by email (link below this column heading) that you want to view the databases so I can "Invite Family", as Ancestry.com calls it, giving them access to the databases. So much work for so little reward. However, other than downloading the full version and viewing it with Family Tree Maker, this is the best access to all information in the databases. I understand the need for security, but ..........

FamilySearch
A limited version of
Sinnocks and Kin
database was uploaded as a GEDCOM file to FamilySearch.org, the Church of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) web site. This is mostly a free site to aid genealogists and other interested people from thoughout the world. The submitted database removed individuals of several maternal families from the Sinnocks and Kin database (accounting for the reduced number) that were already well represented on other family trees available at FamilySearch.org. The link is to a search page on the FamilySearch.org site. Near the bottom of the page is a entry box labeled 'Submission ID' that identifies individual family trees. The Sinnock tree I submitted is accessible by entering MMDP-1HM in the entry box
(note: capital letters only)
. Why doesn't Ancestry.com make it that easy?
