Hi Nicky, I have left my name and date of birth on, which are the same on the file i'm importing. It is a big tree, over 4000 names, i'm wondering if its taking to long to import? is there a limit on size? Eileen

Your Gedcom needs to be saved in the 'Ansi' format before you can import to GR. See tips on importing your tree (Import/Export tree) for further details.

Hi Eileen, It says that you must only have your name on your tree and it must match to enable the import to work. Nicky

Hi, I have just Deleted my old tree, in order to import my new one, to save typing in a few hundred names, but I keep getting 'the page cannot be displayed' and 'internal server error' after about 5 minutes. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong, please! Thanks Eileen.
