I had no trouble at all uploading a full, combined, six-generation GEDCOM to FTDNA on Friday, Feb. 17 - in anticipation of receiving Family Finder results soon, as the result of transmitting my 23andMe raw data earlier, as several people have done. However, this was the first time that I had uploaded any GEDCOM to FTDNA, having no need to replace previously-sent separate maternal and paternal GEDCOMs, which FTDNA said, in a note during the procedure, that it would eventually be eliminating in favor of combined versions. So, there may be some problem when one has to replace previously-sent GEDCOMs. Charles Acree ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:49:30 -0700 From: Karen Zander <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] trouble uploading GEDCOM to FTDNA To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for letting me know.

She only told me the most distant ancestors aren't sticking because there is a character limit. This is weird, because these two kits are for my sons, so I had previously put in the SAME information in for my husband and myself, with no problem. I could get the most distant ancestors for my sons to stick only by entering just name and birth year - adding the death year caused it to disappear. Of course I asked her again what's going on with the gedcoms, but I guess I'll have to wait until next Sunday for the answer. It seems they only answer emails on Sundays - at least that's been my experience. Maybe you'll get an answer from FTDNA on the gedcom problem before me. Karen

I uploaded my dad's combined GEDCOM in support of FF to replace his maternal that existed in support of his mtDNA. It worked. But it may be outside the timeframe of issue. It was posted the 12th, give or take.   Gregg >________________________________ >From: Charles Acree <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 7:05 AM >Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] trouble uploading GEDCOM to FTDNA > >I had no trouble at all uploading a full, combined, six-generation GEDCOM to FTDNA on Friday, Feb. 17 - in anticipation of receiving Family Finder results soon, as the result of transmitting my 23andMe raw data earlier, as several people have done.  However, this was the first time that I had uploaded any GEDCOM to FTDNA, having no need to replace previously-sent separate maternal and paternal GEDCOMs, which FTDNA said, in a note during the procedure, that it would eventually be eliminating in favor of combined versions.  So, there may be some problem when one has to replace previously-sent GEDCOMs. > >Charles Acree >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:49:30 -0700 >From: Karen Zander <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] trouble uploading GEDCOM to FTDNA >To: [email protected] >Message-ID: ><[email protected]om> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > >On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <[email protected]> >wrote: > >> 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. >> >> Diana > >Diana, > >I heard back from FTDNA's Ashley, but to my dismay she did not address the >gedcom situation at all.
