If you want to add additional tress there are things to think about. Do I want a separate 2nd tree or do I want to bring everything into the first tree and merge duplicates from there. I can just save the info extracted from Ancestry to my computer, as a file?
Once you have one, you can import your gedcom file and it will all be read into that. Hi Alona Tester.
I have downloaded my Ancestry gedcom into my Heredis software. All the names are there on a side list, but do not appear on the tree. Seems to be a lot of missing data. I tried twice but same result. Sorry, solved it. I have to make a completely new tree and not try and add to an old tree. Pictures and sources imported fine.
Post too soon… looking at an old tree… pictures and sources are all missing. First, thank you for you very clear instructions. I used XP and unfortunately can no longer sign into my Ancestry account. However if I go to the library I can. I planned to download the tree on library computer and transfer it to a stick. Is this feasible? I am thinking of purchasing Heredis I understand importing GedCom.
Is there a way of getting the photos etc from Ancestry. I am paid up with Ancestry. I just created gedcom file from ancestry. It was my understanding that all media source data, photos etc.
But, none of the photos or actual source documents are not there.. When I access the index for media in Heredis, the files have Xs through them. I tried following instructions in Heredis user guide but it did not work.
My directory indicates that only 1 gedcom file is present, and no other accompanying file with data. Can you help? Photos, notes and sources tend to be the things that are less likely to transfer properly. And I do know that if you have images on your Ancestry. This is because GEDCOM files are text-only files and there is no way to include attached files with this type of file. This is one reason that I always recommend saving the most important photographs and documents pertaining to your ancestors directly to your computer.
Before uploading your tree to any of these sites, however, be sure to understand whether your tree will be public or private and how your tree information might be used.
