Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 38 Send Message	Hi All, Ive recently imported a GEDCOM file of my family tree. However ive just noticed that the 'home person' on the Genes Reunited homepage has been changed from myself to another relative in my tree. Does anyone know how i can change it back to me ? thanks Glen

	the gedcom most likely had them as the starting place. You may have to ask genes to do it for you .unless anyone else can suggest anything

GR doesn't not currently have a facility to change to home person, but as suggested if you ask GR, they will do it for you if you tree program doesn't have the option either.
