I've changed this to WikiTree Tech and added the gedcom tag, to alert the proper people. My feeling is that you won't be able to get a copy of that gedcom. (I think they get deleted) You can create a new one, but it may have changed. Exporting a gedcom

Hi, Carol --

If you can give us more information about why you want it, we might be able to help you find a solution. :-)

Also, if you truly want the GEDCOM you imported here, you could go back to wherever you exported it from and recreate it from there.

gedcom files are meant to be only temporary transfer files between genealogy programs. And the information they transfer will never be complete, because of the differences between those programs.

Once your data is transferred, then after a short while, the file will be deleted.

After the upload has been processed, you should get an email that says:

Hello WikiTreer.

The GEDCOM that you uploaded has now been completely processed into WikiTree web pages. See your GEDCOM report page for details: http://www.wikitree.com/.....

If you click on that link, it will take you to a page where you can download your "raw GEDCOM".

If you lost that email, you may find a link in your Contributions List. Scroll back the list to 2011 and see what is there.

Carol,

Others have given correct responses, the old GEDcom is no longer available.

However, if you click on your contributions - then click on 500 per page - you will see a list - do a next page to get the rest of the list, a couple of next pages will show you all of them. (Also mentioned by others, just a little more detail here.)

Review of a couple of profiles show that this was your gedcom.

"import of Faulkner_2011-01-22.ged on 23 January 2011"  You can use the search function to find some of these, but many will not show, I suspect because of the privacy settings you have made.

You might take a look at your home system, if you have not cleaned up old files, it is possible you still have a copy - a search of Faulkner_2011-01-22 seems worth doing.
