Member Since: September 2004 Posts: 5 Send Message	Yes - but I use the files for my other website where I don't want the information private... so then I have to change them back again. Oh well. Thanks for your feedback. K

	It will always overwrite your exisiting Genes Tree. Can you 'privatise' your Gedcom before uploading it? I know you can on FTM but don't know about Legacy. Sam x

Member Since: September 2004 Posts: 5 Send Message	I keep all my tree in Legacy and then use the data to update my website and Genes reunited and Findmypast etc. I have recently added a new brnach with several 100 people. It appears that if I upload a new gedcom file it overwrites my existing tree in Genes. Is there any way to append. If I overwrite the tree, then I lose where I have manually changed names to "living" for some who I either don't have permission to disclose or who do not want to appear in the tree. Does anyone know some way around this? Thanks Kylie
