Adding a PDF document

Question

My Grandmother wrote a rather extensive and well researched geneology.  She self-published it in 1970, and I have the only remaining copies that are known. It does not bear a copyright notice, but if it did, it would have passed to me.   I have scanned it to a PDF, redacting certain living people's data and securing it so it cannot be edited.  Is it possible to post this somewhere on Wikitree?  I tried to post it to her profile, but could not figure it out.  It is about 72MB scanned.  How best to proceed?

Answer 1

You can upload PDFs (as Images) but they are limited to 10MB. Technically speaking you would have to reduce the quality and/or split it to upload to Wikitree. However, if this is your family's entire genealogy it may not be most appropriate to post it as a Wikitree image for an individual profile. It may be better to upload and host it elsewhere (e.g. archive.org) and put a link to it on your grandmother's profile at Wikitree, or other places it is referenced.

Answer 2

Go on her profile. You will click on IMAGES

exemple: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Constantineau-Photos-18

and then see the first line ...

https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Constantineau-Photos-18

then click on "click here to upload it"

Don't use these link to upload your file but use the same pages from your grandmother's pages.

Answer 3

Another option would be to create a Space page for this document and upload it there. Then you can connect any referenced profile to that Space page.
