It must be exported as a gedcom 5.5 with the character set ANSI, otherwise it may not load correctly.

Which program did you use to create the gedcom file?

Hoping to get a gedcom of my tree which is too big to print off on a page of A4. The GR team are fab!! :-S

Mardle -
do you mean you want to know how to do it?


Instructions here:
https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/help/faqs?key=425&searchterm=gedcom

"How do I import or export a gedcom file?
If you want to load your gedcom file onto the site, click on the Family Tree button at the top of your homepage, then select Import Gedcom from the drop-down menu. This will take you to the import gedcom page where you can upload your file. You can only load one gedcom per registration. It may take a whilke to load, depending on the size of the file. We'll send you an email once it has loaded.

If you want to export a copy of your tree then click on Family Tree at the top of the page and then choose the export option. Your tree will be emailed to you as a gedcom file attachment. If you don't receive it within 24 hours it might be worth checking your spam folder in case it has been added there."

But a GEDCOM file needs to be imported into a tree somewhere, either on GR or elsewhere.

It's not readable like a printed tree would be.

Unfortunately it's not possible to print off a large tree from GR, all on one page.
It has to be done bit by bit, and then sellotaped together like a jigsaw, which can take many pages, depending on how big your tree is. Not at all satisfactory.

You'd be best to export your GEDCOM from GR to another genealogy programme which will allow you to print the tree in the form of a report. That wouldn't necessarily be on one page of A4, depending on the size of the tree, but at least it would print as one document in a readable form..

I use RootsMagic, of which there is a free version - but there are many others.
