Upload notice with the facility to upload Gedcom files and warning signs to read.

Please put links to the gedcom pass chat info with the page

I am experiencing great problems with a gedcom file from Family tree maker 2019 that duplicated a lot of matches.

Instead of placing them as "possible matches", it has place them as "already in the tree" and create duplicates for each of these cases.

and no help is available - can find anybody to contact online to help with the database issue that should be sorted. If I had know there was a problem with Family tree maker 2019 gedcom file, i would have sorted it out first.

Also the tree should not be pulled in directly but go into an holding area where pieces can be match with current info.

In addition, I have also have a lot of people under "add to the tree", but they already exists.

The gedcom facility does not allow you to work on the info that was imported. So you cannot change the importing data to correct it, so it would match and be linked

Under "living and invalid" the ability to change on the gedcom data imported as some may be mark as living due to a lack of date for death or invalid and you are unable to correct the data so it would be imported.

please add a helpline function to the gedcom import area to a database administrator that can help with data issues... such as mentioned above where duplication was created due to a database issue and not a information issue
