Gedcom is a file structure. It is an agreed on set of rules on how a genealogy file will be laid out so different software programs can "talk to each other."
You can "get one" if someone has created one. If you find someone that has genealogy ties to you they may send you the one they have created.
Look at the link below for better information on GENCOM and how they work.
