Family Historian uses the GEDCOM file format for its data.  Most family tree programs will import a GEDCOM file and convert the data to their own file format.

So, if you are happy to share all the information in your file, simply provide a copy of your .GED file.  They will probably be able to read it.

Similarly, most programs are able to export data as a GEDCOM file.  This would allow you to add their data to yours by merging the two files.
