+Most genealogical programs have the ability to create a web site from the genealogical information already entered; it is this program function that allows one to view their files on their portable devices. Follow these simple steps:
+#Create your web site pages, most have a default function that saves it to your own computer first before uploading all the files to a web site. It usually creates a folder with all your files.
+#Attach your device, a tablet or smart phone to your computer with the USB cable that came with your device. This will treat the device as an extra drive.
+#Download the application 'iFiles' to your iPad. Once installed this is the file program you use to transfer the web page files created on your desktop.
+#Create two folders in your file manager program like the two on your hard drive, one will be the name you gave it and the second one will called 'images'.
+#When you open the file folder, select all the files leaving the 'images' folder unselected. It will take a few minutes to transfer all the files.
+#Open the 'images' folder on your hard drive and select all those files and place them in the same folder on your iPad.&nbsp;
+#Once all is transferred, it is a matter of locating the 'index.html' file, double clicking it and it opens with your browser. The results will be your genealogy files.
