I keep the main and most uptodate version of my tree somewhere other than GenesReunited. I need to update the version on the GR site. How can I do this? Seems that the only way is to either a) labouriously add the information in by hand or b) delete whole lot (except me) and then import the most upto date version. Any offers that will save my time and patience gratefully received. Liz

Yep, those are your two options. Personally, I update by hand.

I deleted mine two days ago and uploaded the latest version. It didn't take very long at all. And really the bonus was not having to type it all again. Can take a while apparently if your tree is enormous or the site is running slowly. I think it was worth it. Good luck. Jan
