Have fun collaborating on your ancestors
Wendy ~ WikiTree Greeter
I have been using MyHeritage, in which some ancestors are on a small branch, and would like to transfer the branch to Wikitree. I know how to create a GEDCOM but do not know how to transfer in only that one branch. I would hate to have to reenter all that info.
Thank you for your help, IRIS
The best thing to do would be to select only the branch you want to bring across for your GEDCOM.
The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree. It generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through, either accepting or rejecting all suggested matches. Once that has been done, you should see [add] buttons for each of the remaining names.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
Let me know if you have further questions.
