I have created a gedcom file on my computer. Can anyone tell me how I get it from my documents to tribalpages. No use asking support I'll die from old age before they get back to me.

Hi Barbara, I see you already have a Family Tree on Tribal Pages dated July 2012. Do you realise that if you upload a GEDCOM to this, that it will OVERWRITE the one that you have.

I have explained below how to UPLOAD GEDCOM, but you should have given Tribal Support a chance to answer, as you seem a bit terse with them, and comments such as yours, does not favour a reply.

Go to EDIT ----DASHBOARD-- and on the RIGHT TOP in BOX you will see GEDCOM. Follow the instructions from there.

All the best

Les thank you for your reply sorry if you think I was unfair on my post but I gave support a week to reply and they did not. I had already managed to turn my original tree

from Family Tree Maker to GEDCOM but my problem is I can't seem to get it to show up in Tribalpages. I know it will override what I have managed to put in Tribalpages this week while I was waiting for a reply but I still have a lot of names to put in and was trying to make it as painless as possible. In your experence do you think it is better to go

ahead and me put the rest in or is it better to let the GED

over ride what I have put in? Again I did send two request for help before I resorted to the forum. Thanks Barbara

Hi Barbara,I had not realised that you had already mentioned this to Tribal Support, but a week is short timefor an answer from them.

If as you say, you have uploaded your GEDCOM and it is not showing, what is this

***************'

Maria I have the same question. I tried to upload Family Tree Maker new version 7. It said it loaded it but can not find it on my site. I am new at this and althought it has only been about 4 days I still have not heard from Support. Maybe they will answer your question and it will also answer mine at the same time.

****************'

Where have you put this, as your site

***************

'The Barlow Family in Georgia'

is showing with 320 relatives, or is this not the site.

I suggest that you open up a FREE SITE, and try and upload your GEDCOM to it. If this works and shows up for you, and it is what you want, then UPLOAD it to overwrite

'The Barlow Family in Georgia'

Hope that I have made it clear,

All the best

Thank you for your promp reply. I will try doing the free site and see what happens. Sorry you misunderstood. I just thought I would hear back from support usually on most sites

they get back within approx. 24 to 48 hrs. but thats ok. as long as I know what to expect I should be fine. Yes you were looking at my correct site. The Barlow Family in Georgia. Thanks again.

Les, just want to thank you for your help last week. I did as you instructed and did a free website. And then did my paid site again. All the names transfered over and everything is great so far. Boy did that help keep me from having to re-enter all those names and info. Thanks again.

Hi Cheryl, your site is showing on Tribal Pages. Are you sure that you downloaded correctly, and how are you trying to see the downloaded GEDCOM on your PC

What program are you using.

I realise that my tree is fine on your site. I have lost my tree on my pc at home, and downloaded my saved tree to my pc. but when trying to open it, with the Legacy program Deluxe, it will not open, so I searched my computer for a ged file and none showed up, even though I knew that I had downloaded it.

I have eventually found a copy that is 5 months old, that I had made into a Zip file and sent to myself via email and that opened, but that doesn't help really as I can not open the download from your site. Have tried to download in Mozilla, and Chrome, and Internet Explorer, and none of them open.

Hi Cheryl, just to confirm, it is not my site. I am only a Member such as yourself.

Suggest that you download the GEDCOM to your PC again, but into a different FOLDER, and see if that works.

Thanx for your reply Les, and I realise you are just a member helping, and thanx for that. I have now downloaded 4 times, all different ways, still the file is empty. Also went and updated my Deluxe Legacy program, and still the same.

But I do now have a copy that is 5 months old, but a copy, so just now have to try and find what is missing from mit and I'll be find, but it is a funny situation to be in. Have been with them for many years and never had this problem before. Thanx again

Hopefully it will all work out soon
