I'm new to this program so please bear with me! I have updated my tree on FTM and want to upload it to this site. Could somebody please explain to me in very simple terms how to do this. I'm popping out in a minute so I'm not ignoring your replies. Thanks. Jeanette x

Go to Import/Export tree on here, to the left of the screen under 'Other Useful Tools' You can then import your tree from FTM following the instructions. It's quite simple, but you just need to know where to look!

Jane's suggestion is just as valid...although I've never used that before! Good luck!

If anyone's still looking in, I've got another quick question Does it take a while to appear on the site or is it immediate?

Jeanette, It could take anything from a couple of minutes to a couple of days! I've experienced both! If you click on the import/export treet link to the left of here it will tell you if it's still uploading!

if you already have a tree on here, you need to delete it except for yourself before uploading your new tree.edith
