I am attempting to load a Gedcom file of 500 individuals. The "comparing . . " phase is now 1+ hour long. Is this normal?

    Hello,

    Here is a link to some information on uploading a GEDCOM.

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-should-i-prepare-my-gedcom-file

    Here is some further information.

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-copy-information-from-my-gedcom-file-into-family-tree

    Your GEDCOM file uploads, and the system adds it to the Pedigree Resource File. This can take up to 30 minutes. The larger your GEDCOM file, the longer this upload process takes.

    When the upload process is complete, all FamilySearch users can search and view the information in it

    If you are using a computer and it is taking along time, perhaps deleting the cookies/cache on the browser and FamilySearch might help.

    Here is for your browser:https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-delete-all-of-the-cookies-and-temporary-files-stored-by-my-internet-browser

    Check on settings for your browser for how to delete cookies.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Please let us know.
