    3. Recently I had a discussion thread with Ancestry about uploading a revised gedcom file asking them if it would just replace what was there - this is in the Family Tree Section - NOT the Ancestry World Trees. They told me there was no provision to overwrite the online tree and the only thing you could do is to delete the tree and upload a new one. This in my view is rather archaic. Even WorldConnect allows for overwriting the gedcom and their system is far older. So, I am not surprised that the name change had no effect and resulted in two trees being online. One thing I would like to say is that it is true that the people at Ancestry do listen when enough people complain about a feature. So it is in our best interests to tell them what does not work well.

It wasn't until I read the previous email that got me to thinking. I do know one thing for sure. About six months ago I made a slight change to the "title" of my family tree on ancestry. Well my thinking was that it would change the ALL old to the new listing. Well it didn't. I even called ancestry about it. I was told they have people that have changed their family tree name several times and its like a new one each time along with all the old ones.
