His name is Christian Louis Schlenker He was born Jan 5, 1941. His wife's name is Helen Elizabeth Sopris. she was born June 19.1944

They both were born in New York.. I don't have any other information.

I was told gedcom files are in the pedigree resource file, but I don't know how to get to the pedigree resource file to open the Christian Louis Schlenker gedcom file I uploaded.

Thanking you in advance!!

    Hi Doug, congratulations on submitting your Gedcom to the PRF

    It’s a bit confusing because to find any files you previously submitted you click Submit Your Tree again.

    Try it and let us know if it works.

    Yes, @Doug Whitlow we can help you with this. If you go to familysearch.org and then search then in the drop down select "genealogies" and then scroll down to this point on that page:

    Then click on "submit your tree." You will then be given the previously submitted trees:

    @Doug Whitlow

    Is Christian Louis Schlenker born 1941 living or deceased?

    You might search for his parents if they are deceased

    You can also search by Submission ID. To do, find the section titled Other Options. Click Submission ID, and follow the instructions that follow.
