Genealogy Chat

I try to limit my Tree to actual blood relatives, their spouses and their spouses parents and siblings. I freely confess that, if a member allows me to view their Tree and there are blood relations to me on it that I will copy the info and add it to my Tree. After all, this is surely why we share our information. I have however found that occasionally someone sends me a Gedcom file which may have lots of blood relations on it that there may also be any number of in-laws. It is far easier to upload the Gedcom file and make the link than to manually enter each individual. And it is too time-consuming to find and delete all the in-laws.

Hi Valerie, I've added a message to the board today giving a tip for uploading a gedcom and removing living relations, so if the person is reading this please do read the post on a tip for uploading gedcoms, as they might be trying to delete any living relations and unconnected individuals as well. I completely agree that you should ask living relations before uploading their details here, and would advise anyone struggling to remove any unconnected or living individuals to follow that tip I posted, and that should do the trick. Best wishes
