Find Ancestors

Also I have just come on to Genes and was locked out of the site My Password has been changed by Whoever is doing this Maureen

Hi ya Girls That's the best thing about it No-one has my password I changed my password the first time it happened I changed my password again on Sunday What Else can I do Maureen

Hi Maureen, If someone has got access to your password then they can delete your tree and there is nothing GR can do about it. Try changing your password and always log out before you go offline. Gwynne

ok Goodnight

I guess not They keep saying that I must be doing it by mistake. I'm not thick I would know if I had done it. They are offering no kind of support at all. Apart from uploading the gedcom file from there. As it still will not go from here Maureen This is driving me crazy

No Johnathon Look at Import and Export On left IT STATES DELETE TREE TO UPLOAD GEDCOM only your name will be left in. I have got the gedcom file here of my genes tree. It would'nt upload so the girl at Genes did it for me earlier That was 5 I logged back in at 8 Only me in tree Maureen

Hi Johnathon I dont know how to sort it either. Genes loaded it back up for me. Someone has to have my site access saved. I dont know how Maureen

no no limit I have had access to trees that contain from 600 + names 800+ . Maureen

Hi Dancer I have had my tree on Tribal Pages for a good while now but I didn't know you could put music on. Can you tell me how please? As far as uploading, I updated mine yesterday and received an email within the hour to say it had been successfully uploaded. Lynne

Usually available within a few hours I think .... BUT ... I've had my tree on there for a good year and so I can't actually remember how long it takes for anything to go up ! I know that photo's go up almost emmediately. Another good thing about it .... you can do a name search on that site as well .... and it throws up all the Pages with that name in ... a lot of people DO LOCK the tree though (like me) ... but you just send that person an email and they get back to you ... providing you give enough info for them to check. I know that when you are viewing your own tree on TP, then its really set out nicely and very pleasing to the eye. I've not actually been on anyone else's tree, so I'm not sure what they look like when your a visitor ! ... in fact, I'll go and check that out now !! Dancer x

Derbyshire, I have just sent my FT2005 gedcom to that site, does it usually come available quickly? Thanks for telling us, it does seem really quite sophisticated. Nice to have the homepage somewhere else.

Thanks for this Site Dancer I will certainly keep it in mind Maureen

Yes I have followed all the instructions. I have been on with it for the last Two Hours and it Still Wont let me upload. The Gedcom File is The names from my genestree which I had backed up onto the Hard drive on the computer. Just in case someone or Whoever that did it the last time did it again. Maureen Ps I do have a big family tree On the Paf with over 2000 names in.

Maureen, Unless you specifically want your FT here on GC so that you can share it with others when they ask, why don't you consider a Web Site like Tribal Pages ? its FREE ...AND you can share your tree with millions of people on the net OR .. you can password it. You can add music .. / ... photo's etc and pretty much anything goes ! Its great fun and very easy to use ... with user friendly instructions and very friendly people to ask if you have any difficulties. Its easy to back up on CD and even easier to load back up to the site via Gedcom... Have a look at some others that have web pages ... and see what you think http://www.tribalpages(.)com ... remove () If you elect to NOT password it, you can have your tree linked directly to the net, so if someone googles for a surname thats in your tree, they get a link to your site. Good Luck Dancer x

Have you followed the instructions ? Not a silly question. I had bother and couldn't understand why. It was because I was using Family Tree Maker 9 and was trying to load it as a Family Tree Maker file, rather than a GED file. It also needs to be saved 5.5 GED or above. Right click the file and then click on properties and see what info it gives you. Good luck, VAL

But's that's just it. I have got it backed up. It wont let me load it back up onto the site. Maureen

Thats what appealed to me about FTM2005. I now have quite a lot of stuff on GR, but everything on FTM2005 plus I back up the program with a rewritable cd everytime I add something and in the dire case of GR going out of business, my puter crashing and then me standing on the rewritable disc at least I will have everything still in cyberspace on the website that FTM2005 make for you.

Maureen I use the PAF sorfware from familysearch and find it very user friendly. I have a copy on my main hardrive, but I also back it up on a seperate hard drive just in case. You have to back up your information on a medium that is seperate from your main computer just in case it crashed and you have to wipe the hardrive. As for the GR family tree then I find it very time consuming to enter the information, and once n the tree is very difficult for anyone else to find their way around. But I thinks thats just me. Sorry this has hit you twice. Have you thought about setting up a webpage and uploading you tree to that. You will need a family trre software package to do this but it is worth it as it is another backup, and very easy to read by others. And the best thing is there is no other typing needed, just upload what you have. Victor
