No matter how many times I have tried I can't upload my GEDCOM to Genes Reunited :-( I use a MAC so I am not sure whether it has something to do with that. Can anyone help?

Hi jonathon double check that your own details on the gedcom, match your details on genes for your own name, otherwise it won't load, depending how many are on your tree it can take a while to upload hope this helps sandra

Keep trying Jonathan, It took me over 20 attempts the last time I uploaded my tree. I think it depends upon how busy the server is at the time! All the best Russell

I spent hours trying to do mine and then realised I had a second name in the gedcom but not on my GR tree so it would not recognise me as a user. But it may just be the server playing up.
