Hmm - I transferred ( umm - uploaded!) my original tree from here to Tribal about 18months or so ago. Since then I have added a fair few names and info to my tree on here - but not done so on Tribal (or Gencircles for that matter). I somehow forgot about it. Is it a simple process to merge somehow the new info with the old - or do I have to add it name by name? That would be so tedious. Finger crossed there is another way! Rosi

You can always delete your tree on TP and upload a new one. I have done it a few times. I can't remember whether it gave me the option to upload and automerge.

Thanks Jim, I'll have a look at doing that. Having forgotten about how good I found TP when I first used it all those months ago to have to wait a further 24hrs or so while it uploads the new tree with all the new names will not be such a problem - I hope! Rosi

Slight snag- have just been to TP to maybe delete my tree on there and start again - and there is no 'delete tree' facility. Further, on looking at the message boards there seems to be some alarm from people who would like to delete Gedcoms from there, but find they cannot any longer do so. A bit of a hooha going on! Maybe will stay away for another few months - or take another look at Gencircles. One thing I remember loving about TP was the 'ahnentafel' reports - but hat seems not to be there anymore either - or perhaps that is only available if you pay now, and not of the free site? Rosi

I belive that, like GR, there is no delete tree option. However loading a new version of your tree from GEDCOM will wipe the original. If you want to lose your tree completely, probably the best thing to do is upload a GEDCOM with one person in it - you. All the rest will vanish! Lx

Have put my tree on Tribal Pages a while ago but haven't been back there since. Find it much easier to use the free download of Legacy, and I don't have to log into the internet to find it. It makes sense to invest in a memory stick though - about £12 from Argos I think! I still keep my GR tree updated though, as I am desperate for rellies on my father's side to make contact, and this is only likely to happen on GR if everyone else keeps their trees updated too......So please don't stop adding to your GR tree, you may be my long lost cousin!!!

Thanks peeps - you've mostly allayed my fears and reservations! I will bite the bullet very son - and upload the latest version of my tree from GR to TP - and possibly GenC too! I do have some tree stored on Family Historian - but have not yet found myself at ease using that - it somehow baffles me when I think I've got the hang of it! Pooreold girl! Rosi
