Being the proud owner of a PAF5, though making many a mistake on it, I have decided to join world connect. I follow all the instructions but it keeps coming up with error mesage 'this is not a gedcom'. Any thoughts? I then decided to download on to Gens circle and they have a fault. So nobody wants my tree- bo hoo. Suggestions please. |

When exporting from PAF5, in the export box are you clicking on the bottom circle labelled Other Gedcom 5.5 ? dave |

I excitedly uploaded my tree to LDS when I had been working on it a couple of months, to preserve it for posterity. I have to say guys as ashamed as I am that there were mistakes on it which I rectified over the next 7 months. However, the LDS site doesnt allow you to modify the tree you have submitted and now I have a message that it has gone onto their records. I have submitted the corrected tree but it will appear separately to the first one. So now I can see why so many people have said the IGI has misled them. |

Unless I am mistaken, I don't actually export from PAF, there system is ment to work it out!! ie it says "If you don't specify a file, we will download the latest" since it then said that there were no files, I have at least 5 PAFS, I went into there Browes feature and tried to down load that but it kept saying "this is not a gedcom" Have now spent the last 7 hrs in the kitchen and I don't care anymore. Will try again next year. |
