Question

I have uploaded a gedcom for matches how do I put that data into my Wiki Family tree?

Answer 1

Hi - I went to your profile to see if you'd volunteered & been confirmed ... couldn't see anything except that your privacy level is "unlisted" - that's meant for children under 13, not active members (see http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Privacy for details).  So, not being a family member or Wiki Genealogist may be the problem (see http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Member_Types for explanations of the different levels). For other information about gedcoms, check out the FAQs at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/GEDCOM_FAQ

Cheers, Liz

Answer 2

Once a GEDCOM is uploaded, and you go through the GEDMatches report and approve it, it will be approved by a WikiTree team member. Then it will be imported and you'll see all the profiles on your Watchlist.

However, you appear to have uploaded multiple GEDCOMs and then deleted them. So you'd need to upload another file first to go through this process.

I found no matches - so how do I add my tree?

If you look at the instructions below the GEDMatches table, you'll see a button that says "Approve: I understand the instructions above and want to import into WikiTree". You just need to click that.

Thanks Lianne - the approve button was missing as I had not signed the Honor Code - I thought this would be included in the signing up as a Volenteer but its a different step. If signing up as a Volenteer and signing the Honor Code were in the same place it might have been easier to follow.
