How Do You Relate?

QUESTION: I am not able to upload and updated GEDCOM file of my Family Tree. I get the following: Error uploading - File type "ged" Not permitted, is there a reason for this or are GEDCOMS not allowed to be uploaded?

It is true that you cannot upload a gedcom. The problem that the server has in uploading gedcoms is that it over-writes people that are already there that have the same person-id number. If I'm person no. 1 and you're person no. 1, you would replace me. This would occur for every person with a matching ID number, and for every family that has a matching Family ID number. To prevent that from happening uploads are not permitted. However, if you send me the gedcom you want to submit, I can work around this by importing it into my genealogy program which will assign new person ID numbers and then I can upload it for you.
