	This is a commmon problem. Email: [email protected] Pre-Covid they answered within 3-5 days, but it may take longer at present. They sorted it when that happened to me.

	- check that yr email address reg with GR is what you think it is - if you are sure about the email address then look for it in the trash or junk folder as many mail clients eg gmail will put it there by default nb: the exported GEDCOM will have ONLY the text data, no photos, no saved census records etc.
