Member Since: December 2002 Posts: 53 Send Message	if it is any consolation I cannot load mine - it kept saying that the file name was incorrect - have given up at the moment as I am not that happy with the family tree package that I have and am looking for a new one. Unfortunately, although I did not have all my tree on GC what i did have has now been deleted anyway! Do I re input it or hope that I find another more user friend FT package and then try loading via gedcom again?
