I've tried numerous times to upload gedcoms (ancestors only and only BMD just like yours) for my transfer kits. I also can not add most distant ancestors. I enter the information, click save, and when I check again, everything is blank. I wrote to FTDNA support and was asked to send them my gedcoms and most distant ancestors. That was on the weekend, and I haven't heard back, but I assume they are working on correcting the problem. I'm almost glad there is a delay with the transfer kits being processed, since I can't upload genealogical information. Karen
Thanks for letting me know. This is really frustrating. I wish they'd at least put up a warning that the upload feature isn't working, so not to delete your existing GEDCOMs. Hrmpf.
