HOW DO I UPLOAD/IMPORT A GEDCOM FILE

davidnewton2

Simple. Don't.

Getting a GEDCOM into the fixed Genealogies section of the site is one thing but don't even try to go any further.

If you want to add material then load things into a FSFT-compatible program like Rootsmagic and individually sync things across.

Clumsily-performed GEDCOM imports are the source of a huge amount of junk in FSFT. There is more than enough material in there to make mass additions unhelpful.

(FSFT) FamilySearch Family Tree is ONE tree we all share.

However, uploading a GEDCOM to keep your tree protected in case something happens, and then you can go back to it for referral--is not a bad idea.

Here is the link to the Knowledge Article in FamilySearch to upload a GEDCOM. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/search?q=upload+GEDCOM.
