Disabled member seeks assistance

Question

I have been contacted by a relatively new member with physical limitations that make it hard to enter research into WT.

There is a tree on Ancestry and FTM (I don't even know what that is) that a gedcom could be made from but I have no experience with Ancestry, FTM or gedcoms.so I'm limited in what I can do.  I have assured this person that we as a community want to help, would appreciate the research - "my life's work"- and will not be cruel if typing errors are made and offered to post this request.

You may want to tag your post also with "Accessibility". This will inform the Accessibility Angels of the post.

Thank you!

Answer 2

You may want to investigate the "Genealogies" section of FamilySearch where a person uploads their Gedcom in its entirety and it is then protected from change by other people. This will preserve your friend's work.

Here's the link where you can read about it. https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies

Thanks Jennifer! If you could please send me a private message with the member's details, I will see if any members of the Accessibility Angels Project can help out. Thanks!
