I can’t replace most information from gedcom. The replace button rarely shows up.

    @Lari Gaioni Hi - Welcome to FamilySearch Community and asking your question about adding GEDCOM information. Not sure where you are in the process so here are links to articles explaining the process. Adding GEDCOM information to Family Tree is a very involved process and takes great care. It is common to see many duplicate records created which must be dealt with. Also, often times, well sourced data is replace with unsourced data from the GEDCOM file. In some cases, it is not advisable to add your GEDCOM file to family tree. For example, if most of the people in your GEDCOM file already have records in Family Tree, it is probably better to just go into Family Tree and make any needed corrections directly to the records in Family Tree. Having said that, exercise great caution when loading your GEDCOM. Here are the links.
