Does any one out there know if I can update my family tree by GED with out making another tree.
I have a tree in here but have now added thousands of more names to my Family Tree program on my computer and now want to export them to the Geni Tree
Looking for help

Far as I can tell, you can still only do it by making another tree... http://help.geni.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&... Very annoying!

Of course that'd add heaps of extra duplicate people. Are you able to extract subsets of your tree from your home program? That way you could start a tree on from your g-grandfather's cousin's aunt (or whoever) and just add a missing chunk.

Cheers, Kath.

HI Kathleen,
I thought as much, was trying to avoid all the merges,
I have so many additions to several parts of the tree that it appears I will have to just upload a new one far to many names to add individually , it has taken me nearly 12 months to even get it on my family tree program.
It is a pain I just hope you will all bear with me when you get the requests to merge some of the names, that is what I was trying to avoid being a pain to the rest of you
Thanks

Well, I won't be complaining about it - with the amount of requests I've spammed everyone with. :-)

Hello Marie,

We are distantly related through my great great grandmother REBECCA DEARLING. I have been trying to fix many merge issues in our family tree, so I hope my merge requests are not driving you too crazy.

HI Kerin,
Not worrying me at all, and get ready for the onslaught when I finally pluck up the courage to update my tree, seems as I understand it I have to rejoin again under a different email and take a pro account, once Ihave loaded the GED file I request Geni to merge it with my orginal one, then once that is done they delete the new account, oh lordy I am hope that i how it works, but there will be heaps of requests to others to merge I am sure.
Regards
