I uploaded a new GR tree by Gedcom, it was not successful, now I am missing off my own tree as is my whole immediate family, a distant branch only shows, no relation, and I am shown as a dead woman. I have now deleted my tree completely as I think it has either been merged by GR with someone else's tree by mistake or someone has hacked it and deleted my branch of the family. Sorry to everyone who has access to my tree unless it is the person who hacked it!

You're not alone, I've tried several rimes to upload a gedcom to GR and each time bits disappear or information is wrong. The same gedcom works fine elsewhere though so I've now given up on my tree here and just don't bother anymore.

No, it has not been merged with someone else's tree nor has it been hacked. Which program have you used to create the gedcom and which format is it in?

The likelihood is that the gedcom you uploaded was not compatible with GR.GR only has limited support for certain field types and can get confused if you use odd characters, especially within in dates. Other sites are more forgiving. There are also certain fields that are mandatory and leaving them blank can cause problems, too.

I have always used FTM to create my gedcom files and have been uploading gedcom files for several years to GR without any issues.
