I have been working on my family history on and off the last 15 yrs, I have done my dna test through ancestry.com. I took over the ancestry research for my aunts. I am always looking for family. I have source information on my ancestry.com site, I will add sources here as I get time. I wanted to upload my ancestry.com info but I have too many names for this site to upload the information. If you can help with source info, much appreciated.

Hello, Shelley!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

I am having difficulty uploading my info from my ancestry.com, which has alot of my source information.

Hi Shelley,

My advice is to create very small GedComs - start with about 20 people; get those 20 through the GedCompare process and then create another GedCom of about 50 people. Continue doing that until you are comfortable with the process. You may decide that adding profiles manually is easier as there is a lot of clean-up from a GedCom upload. Also, the sources, especially from Ancestry do not always load properly. Here is a link to a page about how to split GedComs that might help: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Splitting_a_GEDCOM
