Thanks for that Lee, will print of;; but as I have said I think I managed to do one just waiting still for reply from Tribal pages to see what they have to say first;; Many thanks for your help;; Babs

Hi Jingle Just to say when you load up to tribal pages it can take only a short while to actually upload BUT it can then take them up to 24 hours or even longer for them to configure it before you can use it. You will get an email from them when it's ready. Kat.

Thanks for that Kat, I thought they sent it when it was up-loaded;; Not that anything is uploaded yet, think the problem was it was making the GEDCOM from the back up file not the original so that is getting done now;; Babs taking ages though

If you don't mind Babs I am adding to this thread so that I can find it in 'my threads' when I want to do the same. Hope you get it all sorted soon, good job you can laugh about it and thank goodness for so many helpful pople on here. Ann Glos

Thats very true Ann, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of help the people on these boards and the patience of them if helping people like me. I think I would be screaming go away if I got someone like me to help;; lol Babs Ps still havnt won yet;; they will know whenever I do

Nudging to thank you all Babs

Well done!! :-) Joy

Hi JingleBellsBabs, That's good news! You deserve to succeed because you persevered and didn't give up! WELL DONE!!! Cheers, Horatia

So youve managed to export it to tribal pages? Have you done the cd? I would if I were you, just in case you have a computer melt down. The other thing is, click on the Internet tab at the top and godown to create family page (or something like that!). A box and dialogue shoots up and it really is just a matter of clicking a lot of 'nexts' to make your own family home page which your friends can access by typing in the web page addy. It can also be found if someone on the net does a surname search for one of your names. I have received a few mails from people who googled and found my webpage (dont put your home address on it!) I have just an email addy on there and Ive received useful contacts through it. I update mine just by clicking the nexts a lot every time I add a few people.

nudging this thread for any others to see How things are done and to ask for help in doing GEDCOM of one part of family;; Sorry;;;;;;;;;;; Babs
