The review of my GEDCOM showed a few errors and I fixed them on my TMG software.

I'd rather not import this version of the GEDCOM.

I see no way to delete it. Should I just overprint it by uploading a revised GEDCOM with the same name?

Or wait 7 days til it disappears automatically.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ray,

If you click on the "Click here to review your gedcom" link, you should see a button labeled "Remove your GEDCOM" in the "Overview" tab. That should do it.--Dallan 20:51, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

GEDCOM Error problem [7 June 2009]

Hello Ray,

Sorry to hear that you had errors in your GEDCOM. For now I would just wait the 7 days till it disappears.

I will contact Dallan to ask if there is another way. What is the errors if I could ask?

It might make a difference in the advise.

Thanks Debbie Freeman --DFree 20:53, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure if this is where I should ask this question or not.

I added successfully the Marszalkiewicz Focus Group.

I have just added the Borowiak Focus Group and I am reviewing it.

John Marshall, person No. 116 in the Marszalkiewicz Focus Group is the husband of Mary Burke in the Borowiak Focus Group.

When I created John Marshall's family, I made him the husband of Mary Chorzewska Borowiak Burke, married 24 January 1904.

How do I merge Mary Burke with Mary Chorzewska Borowiak Burke so I can tie the Marszalkiewicz and Borowiak families together? I will be needing to do this for all of my families.

Or should I go back to the beginning and make one master "focus group" with all my families together in one group. Can that be done with a GEDCOM file? It would save me a lot of work.

Now that I am thinking about it, I suppose if I start with me and work backwards, it would work? Is that what people do?

But would that GEDCOM contain all the siblings of my ancestors?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, After your pages are generated, click on the show duplicates link under the more menu. If your pages don't show up as duplicate ... go to the page you want to eliminate and make sure all the info is copied to the page you want to keep. If you are the only editor, you can delete the page from the more menu. If there is another editor, type " #redirect [[Person:Name of the page]]" at the top of the text box, on a separate line. Make sure everything you want to keep has been copied to the surviving page no matter which option you choose. :) Hope this helps.--sq 12:57, 17 June 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try to answer it as well. There are three ways that people enter information here at WeRelate:

• Use a GEDCOM file to upload your entire tree. Once you've done this, create a few "focus group" trees and manually add people from the to these focus group trees by clicking on the "Tree" link in the upper right corner. Currently you have to do this one person at a time. Hopefully within a week you'll be able to add a person's ancestors at the same time you add the person to the focus group tree.
• Create multiple GEDCOM files, each covering one line. Upload each GEDCOM one at a time. If the GEDCOM's overlap (which they probably will), leave a message on my talk page asking me to upload them anyway. Merge the duplicate families using the GEDCOM review program.
• Create people one at a time, working from yourself backwards. Add people to the focus groups you want to add them to as you create the pages.

I hope this helps!--Dallan 18:56, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
