Hi Linda, Make a second copy of your tree in Family Historian by using Save as and giving it a different name. Then select File, Split Tree Helper... and Delete all individual records Not found by age at death. You should then have a tree containing only those individuals for whom you have entered a date of death which you can upload to GC Hope this helps. Judith

Afraid not... I'm really wondering if anyone has found a quick way to edit their GC tree?

I don't think GC can do it. Is there no way of doing it from Family Historian (sorry - I don't know the product)? There are all sorts of options in PAF about what to export and what not to. Rick.

I use Family Historian - which is excellent. I have no problems when uploading my Tree to GenCircles or TribalPages as they both a living relatives option. It just GC that doesn't!

Hi Linda, What program do you use to store your tree ? I use PAF and you can choose to leav out the full details of the living and just put names in when you create the GEDCOM file. Rick.

I've more or less given up uploading updated versions of my Tree on GC because it's such a fiddle to then go and edit out all the living relatives. Am I missing something obvious? Is there an easy way? GC is a great site... but apart from skipping from one message board to another, the functionality of everything else seems such a chore - especially when your tree is quite large. Any tips?
