How do I find the names I had on my gencom file?

Question

My tree at Ancestry.com was too large to download so I was adding my people one at a time to my WikiTree and then I remembered I had a small gencom file at Rootsweb so I have downloaded that. In the directions it said to remove my duplicates which I did but I shouldn't have right then because it also removed the connections and the sources. Now I can find some of my people, but I really have no idea who else needs to be connected to.  Will I just have to wait until I run into them or can I see a surname list with first names or just the surnames that I have. Thank you

Answer 1

on your profile page go to My wikitree  upper right of page. click and choose watchlist from the drop down menu this will display all the surnames and first names of those you have added

Thank you, I'll get right to work.

Answer 2

After uploading a Gedcom to WikiTree you should receive an email titled "GEDCOM import complete". Near the top of this email is a link. Clicking this link will bring you to a page that lists all the people in the Gedcom and it also shows which ones were skipped. You may have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the information. This is the only way I know how to see a list of the 'skipped' people.

 

The link in that email stays active forever. If you lose it, it can be found in your contribution list. Search for "GEDMatching" on the date of the upload.

 

I bury this link in the profiles I manage in case I have one of those "Why did I do that?" moments. Recovering from skipped profiles can be difficult.
