Gedcom

I notice that it is possible to export a Gedcom file from Geni. Is it also possible to import a Gedcom file and if so, how?

To my knowledge the only way yo import a GEDCOM file is to open a new PRO profile. You can open a new PRO profile under trial, import it then merge it with your current tree then cancel your trial PRO profile

WOW. It seems Geni has even more problems than I thought

Maybe it is possible import GEDCOM files after XXX years. :) Let's go away from GENI ! ;)

it was diabled because people were abusing it and uploading the same gedcom over and over using multiple accounts

Thank you for your input. I take notice!

The plans is to come with a better GEDCOM upload, either restricted to cut off outside family group or in some way detect when it hits the historical lines already well covered.

I am one of the people that uploaded a GEDCOM more than once. I uploaded my GEDCOM, and after a few mths of updating it (i wasn;t PRO and non-pros couldn't merge) I would cancel the account and upload a corrected copy. This is the way it works on other sites. I had no Idea that once I canceled my account, the files that were mot merged were left in Limbo. Now, only PROs can (could ) upload a GEDCOM. There should be some kind of warning. Now that I'm PRO I understand how GENI does things, but anyone else coming in would have no Idea until it was to late.

We need a GEDCOM upload Project, get some IT and math minds on the problem.

I started a trial pro account, last week and I am not allowed to upload my GEDCOM file. I like the looks of GENI but I shall have to cancel my trial account by end of this week and look for another geneaology site. SHAME.

Does anyone know when this will be back?

Just today I saw Mike, of Geni, comment that they ARE working on it, but "It could be another month or more. "
