Half a million names in the Gedcom database!

[Mary from Italy]

Just checked, and the total now stands at 500620.

Well done, everyone

[daj]

I only see 498,675 -- odd



I've got 600 to add but I can't upload to it. I've emailed admin and was told they would look into it but that was a few weeks ago -- I then forgot about it.

Anyone else have a problem?

Basically, I get as far as clicking "Upload", the screen changes to Gedcom uploader and then nothing else happens.

I know my Gedcom is fine as I have imported it to a few other systems

I can only see 498,675 too.

How strange - somebody must have deleted something since I looked at it.

Not sure who you sent your message to, but if it was me I apologise for not replying.

Can you check the filename of your GEDCOM file - it should be letters or numbers with no 'strange characters' or spaces. If the filename you are using seems OK then send me a PM (personal message) and I will see what else I can suggest.

I just added 159 more if that helps

[Ozzie Gert]

Just added another 234. We're 16 short of the half million.

[Mary from Italy]

Nearly there - now at 499984.

The filename had an underscore, which I have removed but still no luck

Elaine, I have PM'd you

thanks

[Darksecretz]

I just added 213 extra names :D

[daj]

Yeah -- we should have a ½ million party!

Brilliant stuff well done everyone ;;

[Ozzie Gert]

Not sure if this will help, but mine had a ~ in the name once i took that out it went through smoothly.

Great Mary, Have just found someone on a Ancestry tree, i have been looking for for ages with a husband and nine children, waiting for an answer from the tree owner to see if i can claim them and put them towards the next upload.

Wow! Where did that extra 4000 suddenly come from???

[tanyal]

What's the best way to remove details of living people?

Do I just remove them altogether and create a new file just for uploading, or do I edit it so that it says (for example) living Jones or something?

[Just Gillian]

Hi Tanyal - when you upload your gedcom, the system will automatically remove all people born within the last 100 years unless they have a date of death

Oh, good.

I just have to take the time to update my file now. :D
