Thread: Importing my family tree

Hi everyone, is it possible for me to import my family tree info from another site to here?? and if so how do I do that and also I would like to add a bit of info to the bottom of my posts.. is that a signature?

Hi Tamsin,
You can enter your tree as a gedcom from elsewhere. I will investigate the matter as not certain...
As to second question.... yes that is a signature.

I think I may have done it HAHAHA.. Im not as silly as I thought

Go to Home (see at the top here) click on tree and there it gives directions. Have you got your tree on a CD or a dongle thing? I have only ever done it once from GR to a cd(supposedly a gedcom) and I still have it but can't seem to upload it so I end up rebuilding my tree name by name each time.

Computer and I do not gel!
And while you are there can you please tell me very simply how you get quotes in that neat way at top of your message as I Ijust cannot do it.
If you can't manage your tree ask Val how to do it when she's on.

Oh you are a clever soul! Well done...Such things are a piece of cake to some and a huge mountain to others!
