You cannot create and download a TP generated gedcom to your own computer if you have a free site.

Hi David, I beg to differ.

I sorted this out with Tribal Pages a few years back

Well, this is the message I get on my free site if I want to back up:

Backing Up your Family Tree

Don't lose your data. Make a backup of your site and download it to your computer. You can then restore your site from your backup at any time. This feature is not avaliable to "Free Sites". Upgrade your site and take advantage of this and several other features that are currently not enabled on this site.

Backups are GEDCOM (a standard genealogy format) text files which you can import back into TribalPages or any of the several applications that accept GEDCOM files.

Good morning, Les (it's now 7am in Australia).

I wish I knew how to do a screen shot into this message, to let you see. Perhaps you might advise.

I doubled checked. On a a free site, I logged in as administrator. I went to Tools / Backup and I got exactly the same message as I previously posted.

It has always been this way for free sites (one of the biggest disadvantages of free sites). Whereas you can upload a gedcom as often as you like, you cannot backup or download a gedcom. Unless you upgrade.

Creating a GEDCOM file of a website and downloading it is a feature of paid sites. There are some older sites that are free but have this feature enabled because they were grandfathered into the new model from a time when everything on TribalPages was free.

Hi Tribal Support, your explanation is not quite correct, as when you brought in Paid Sites a Free site then could not download their GEDCOM.

I pointed out to you that you could not do this, as it was illegal for you to accept Members information, that they then had no control over, and that it was their right to be able to download their private information, as it was their property.

This is stil correct and they should and must be allowed to download their GEDCOM as they see fit from Tribal Pages.

I look forward to your answer from your Legal Department..

Regards

Les

Tribal Support you have just stated that FREE SITES are not allowed to download their GEDCOM.

I have pointed this out to you in te past tay you cannot do this, as the GECOM belongs to that person, and they have to have full jurisdiction over it.
