Thread: AA family tree

ken2410 · 06-09-2008, 06:52 PM

went to upload my gedcom file to AA family tree, but can only upload 8mb, my tree as it stands is 982mb.
Is there any way around this or do I have to split my tree, & do multiple uploads?
If its the second option I aint looking forward to sorting that out.

Hi Ken,

Jon here using Kelly's account.

982MB !! Are you sure about that? It seems way too big for a text document (GEDCOM file). How many records are contained within it??

If this is the case then there is no way we can upload such a large file to the tree maker. It is way to big. You would need to create seperate tree's (max 4) and add what you can.

I just cant see your GEDCOM file being that large. A text file of that size would contain 100's of thousands of records, if not a few million. I recommend that you re-check the file size.

Kindest regards

Jon

Hi Ken,

One of mine went on ok with 1.69 MB (1,773,568 bytes) and just under 3,000 names. That one was a bit bigger before a removed some as well.

Hi Mand,

It's the notes and sources that take up the most memory.
