Thanks to the warning, I left my own gedcoms paternal and maternal alone. My son's FF came through in January 2012 and I hadn't yet posted a gedcom for him, and successfully did so just now. Hope that holds promise about the problem some of you are having. It took around 15 minutes to upload 4MB and then another 10 or so for me to select the person. It did upload, but although I carefully (and more than once) selected Hide all persons born within last 100 years it shows some of us. I carefully avoided Hide all living persons born in last 100 years. In most cases it must be because I have put in a . for death date (or else the word NO) but as an example, my mother-in-law was born 1902 yet it shows her son who should not show, dead or living. I did have a few of the long dead people show up as Hidden and will just take a look at the dates. Mary Lou
