I have uploaded gedcoms over 200KB, (only ancestors, only BMD), with no problem in the past. If you, Diana, can't even get a 120KB gedcom to stick, then there has to be something wrong on the side of FTDNA. I had thought that maybe the size of my sons' gedcoms is keeping them from saving. I know that the display of gedcoms I have loaded in the past are cut off at 9th great grandparents. I would think it would do the same thing with a larger size gedcom, not just not load it at all. Or there should be an error message. The way it is, it appears to load, and if I wouldn't have checked, I might never have known that it didn't. Because my husband and I both have only European ancestors, including parents, the common ancestors we have found have all been very distant, 9th/10th cousins, before these American cousins' ancestors immigrated to America. For this reason, uploading a gedcom with less generations is not useful to my matches or me. That may be different for people with colonial ancestry.
