Uploading Gedcom as my family tree

Question

I loaded my GEDcom when I first set up my account and did the G2G match. Now I want the same GEDCom to appear as my family tree. I don’t want to enter all 500 entries manually. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hello James, You need to process all of the entries in your gedcompare file. For each individual you look at the suggested matches and accept or reject them. This is done to ensure that you do not create duplicate profiles when you add from your gedcom. Once you have processed all of the comparisons you will see Add buttons appear on your gedcompare file. You will then be able to add profiles and connect them to your part of the tree.

OK. Thanks for the quick reply.

I must be unusually dense. Do I need to process my GEDCOm file every time I want to add people to my tree?

No, you only need to do the comparisons once. You will see a counter at the top which shows you how many you have worked on. When the two numbers in the counter are equal do a refresh and the Add buttons will appear. After that you handle each add individually (or in close family groups).
