My GEDCOM is larger than 300MB and will not upload

MichaelO'Connell9

I downloaded my GEDCOM file from Ancestry and tried to upload it but it is too large. Is there a workaround?

Firstly ...

Please be, aware; and, advised ...

That there is CURRENTLY, a significant Problem/Issue, regarding the "Upload", of GEDCOM Files, in 'FamilySearch'.

[ And, it is NOT just a problem/issue, for GEDCOM Files, that are LARGE ... ]

That problem/issue, currently in under investigation.

Cannot upload my 107MB GEDCOM file

Secondly ...

In regard to the "Size", of your GEDCOM File ...

I would humbly suggest, when "Creating" your GEDCOM File, "Breaking", your "Pedigree", on "Anestry_com", up into SMALLER "Chunks" (ie. Parts/Sections); being, specific "Branches"/"Lines", that way, into SMALLER "Files"; and, then, "Uploading" the individual GEDCOM Files.

Good Luck.

I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
