Many thanks for your reply. Yes I class my GR tree as my main one. I did export a gedcom to FTM just as a bit of a back up. If I have no other comments regarding this then I will have to decide if its worth trawling thro my GR tree to add to FTM, as to be honest I've added a substantial amount since and it would be very time consuming :-( Not sure if it would be worth the hassle.
Cheers anyway.

KathyS, why not export you GR tree to FTM (again) and make that FTM tree your master. You can then export GEDCOMs to your GR tree to keep it in synch.

An advantage is that when GR update the tree next, you won't have to worry about the changes they make.

There is nothing techie involved in creating a GEDCOM. Select Family Tree and a dropdown list appears, select Export GEDCOM then click on the Export GEDCOM and in a few minutes an email will be sent to you as an attachment. Save the attachment in a known location.

It may depend on what version of FTM you have but when you select new tree it should give you the choice of importing a GEDCOM.

Any photos or records you have in your GR tree will have to be transferred separately.

Many thanks for your suggestions and help.
I have just successfully exported another GEDCOM and imported a GEDCOM to my FTM hence adding a new tree. Success :-)
Will now keep this one up to date as I add to my GR tree.
Again - thanks so much.

Nudge – because printing still seems to be mentioned on threads.
And in the hope that our dear Community Manager, Shelley, might have the good grace to respond to my question to her re: “in due course” (her post 27 May 2014 12:12)



Or should that read ‘in the forlorn hope’?
