  • Gedcom

    I put my Gedcom on here a while ago.
    How do I check it's on here please?
    If I put one of my names into the search facility, none of mine come up or wouldn't they?

    Hi

    Your names should appear with your screen name next to it.

      I've put in a few of my names to try it out, but none of mine appear.
      Don't understand it, as the upload appeared to be successful when I did it a few months ago.

          There is a rather misleading error message that appears sometimes - it appears to say the upload was OK, but then tells you there's an error, and it's easy to miss the second part of the message.

          Try uploading it again, and see what message it gives you.

              Perhaps that happened then Mary and I missed that bit.:D
              I'm exporting my tree from GR at the moment, once that's done, I'll have another go.

                That may be the problem - you can't upload a tree exported from GR directly to this site, because GR uses a character set that isn't recognised here.

                You'll need to import the GR gedcom into your own family tree program (if you haven't got one, you can download PAF for free from familysearch.com), change the character set to ANSI or ANSEL, export a new gedcom, and then upload it to FTF.

                If you haven't done this before and you're having trouble, I can point you to some more detailed instructions.

                  Mary, I'm sure I'll be calling you for help soon. :D
                  Still waiting for the tree to export from GR at the moment.
