    1. [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] trouble uploading GEDCOM to FTDNA
    2. Diana Gale Matthiesen
    3. Has anyone else had trouble uploading a GEDCOM to their FTDNA account? I decided to replace the two GEDCOM I had uploaded earlier (the separate paternal and maternal ones) with a single, merged GEDCOM. I first deleted the existing ones, then tried to upload the new one, but the upload process doesn't complete. I tried three different times over the span of several hours, thinking maybe the server was just temporarily out of whack. The file obviously uploads, initially, because it presents me with a list of the people in the file. I'm not hiding my identity, and my name is at the top of the list. When I click my name as the test subject, there's a short delay (5-10 seconds), then it all disappears and I'm back to the Home page of my account - with no GEDCOM, at all, attached to my account. I logged in to one of my cousin's accounts, with whom I have a FamilyFinder match, and the GEDCOM icon is there under my name, but when I click on it, there's no genealogy there. It's empty. What could be wrong? I emailed the HelpDesk, yesterday, but I still haven't heard back. Diana P.S. The GEDCOM is version 5.5, created by FamilyTreeMaker 2010. The file is very "clean." It contains only names and "BMD" data (date and place of birth, marriage, and death) - no sources, no media, nothing else. I can't imagine there's anything in the file that would be tripping up software able to import a GEDCOM.
