FamilyGTG App Overview
FamilyGTG is an app (currently available for Android) which allows users to fully view GEDCOM (Genealogical Data Communication) files.
Add your family file 
Choose GEDCOM family file 
The GEDCOM family file (*.ged) needs to be placed anywhere on the SD card of the device. Go to 'My Families' page, press 'Settings' button, choose 'Add Family' option.
The device starts to search for all files with '.ged' extention and lists them. Select the desired family file, then app will load the family file. The new family will be added to the 'My Families' list.
Adjust members photos 
If the GEDCOM family file references image files for members photos, then the referenced images files need to be placed directly beside the GEDCOM file 'before' adding the family.
In case the family is already added without adjusting the members photos, the family can be removed and the family GEDCOM file can be added again.
Download sample family 
By default, the app offers to download the sample family during the first app startup. And this can be triggered by going to 'My Families' page, pressing 'Settings' button and choosing 'Download Sample' option.
The device must be connected to the internet before downloading the sample family. 'Kennedy' family is used as the app sample family.
