Linking to an uploaded GEDCOM

Question

I uploaded a GEDCOM but my “Tree” under the My WikiTree drop-down menu shows only me. I manually added three additional people to create links to the GEDCOM, but still nothing. Instead of entering data to create profiles on hundreds of individuals one-by-one, how can I link to the GEDCOM files I uploaded that already contains all of that information?

Hi Lucas,

I just reviewed your GEDCOM and approved it.  It will process in the next batch so probably in about half an hour or so.  You'll get an email once it is imported.  If it doesn't automatically connect to your existing profile then there are 2 scenarios:

1. You included yourself in your GEDCOM. In which case you need to find that profile and merge it with your own.   If you go to the upper right corner of your screen you'll find drop down menus.  Under the MyWikiTree drop down is an option called Watchlist.  That will show you all the profiles you are currently managing or on the Trusted List for.  You should be able to find yourself there and get the WikiTree ID of that profile which you would then merge with your active one.

2.  You didn't include yourself in your GEDCOM. In which case you need to find your parents' IDs, the same way I explained above to find your own, and link them to your active profile.
