Have you checked the .ged file that you sent to the printers to see if some of the fields are not as they should be? If that file is in any way corrupt the problem is not with the printers.
Over the years I have never had a problem with name & date fields within the files exported from my tree on this site. They have all been what I expected.

Note that in the past some folk have experienced problems with date formats when attempting .ged uploads to other software. But my GR exports have always uploaded ok into both Ancestry and PAF5.

Ian ............


That does NOT matter ..... IF you read Terms and Conditions, GR says do not post email addresses. Communication is to be through pms

Publicisation is in general disapproved of.


From their Guidelines for Message Board Use ............

"Please do not include an email address, postal address, phone number or any other personal information about yourself or any other living person in material that appears on the service -"


I'm being gentle with my warning, but postings containing such information have been removed, or have been reported as abuse of the system.

May I suggest that you do remove your email address, even though it is not your home email address.

Hi Sylvia
Many thanks for your good advice. I didn't think that I posted my email address what you may have thought was my email address; is, because I'm a writer, in fact, my authors web site. Thanks for the warning anyway.

Cheers
Ian

Hi I recently "exported" my Gedcom file and sent it to a genealogy specialist printer. However, the printer got back in touch telling me that half my family names and dates( 6 generations) were not showing. I've tried to find a generesreuuted "customer support" email contact to report this, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anywhere that I can talk to a human being! I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction ? Best wishes Ian McKay M A http://Ian-McKay.com

Ian .............

GR has always said members should not put personal email addresses, and they will remove if they notice.

This is NOT a private site, anything you post may well end up on the internet, sometimes within minutes.

Putting your email address on here can therefore be out there, and lay you open to all kinds of abuse.

You can contact anyone on this site, and vice versa, as I did, by private mail (pm) through the GR system.

Please will you remove your email address from all posts ..... you can do it by clicking Edit in the top line of each individual post.

Re family tree charts -
depends what you mean by "best".
If you Google "family tree charts", you'll find lots of options to compare pros and cons.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
