ALL of my work is in Legacy, I've been using it since 2007ish, and many versions ago. But I want a decent tree on Ancestry.com without having to keep two trees.
My methodology was: Keep tree in Legacy Export Gedcom for Ancestry Import Gedcom to FTM Sync with Ancestry The very first time it worked like a charm, because there was no data in FTM. The second time however, there were 1050 people in my tree. When I did the merge, it managed to duplicate 200, as my end count was 1250. It was a nightmare to manage and fix. So my question is this... if any of you transfer to FTM for Sync to Ancestry, what's your methodology? I thought of creating a tag of some sort to determine who HAS been uploaded, and then only exporting those whom I've added since the last sync, but I don't know how to add that to both databases without redoing the entire thing. The last time I did this, a few days ago, I did resort to deleting all but my anchor person from the FTM database and then importing everyone new again, merging him with himself. That works, but I have about ten people linked to the file on the DNA side, and I have to redo those every time. Any help and insight is appreciated. *Jessica Morgan* *Sr Engineering Technologist, Black Stone Minerals* *Chair, SPE GCS Petro-Tech Study Group* ******************************************************************** GedMatch kits: A064089 (SMK), A276959 (JRK), A608610 (TJ), A798429 (Jo), A817318 (JRKM), M399320 (JKM), M918651 (MM), several phasing kits as well FTDNA kits: B12555 (SMK), B12524 (JMM), B13031 (JKM), 368036 (CJ) Ancestry.com: jrkmorgan - all trees private Hometown Cotton Valley, Louisiana.
