Presently, you can only undo merges that have been made since the launch of Family Tree. The temple ordinance info on several of my family relations isn't correct due to these erroneous merges.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222332999347810719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-49752934324713908532013-12-29T13:39:45.919-07:002013-12-29T13:39:45.919-07:00I would have to agree that there are significant p...I would have to agree that there are significant performance problems with FamilyTree. It seems like all too often you get "Service Unavailable" or if it is working, it takes a very long time for the screens to redraw or you continually get error messages like "No server is available to handle this request." Perhaps they should take a break from rolling out new features in FamilyTree and work on stabilizing the system.Ted Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810743230086342147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-51665988284493201402013-12-25T09:34:43.129-07:002013-12-25T09:34:43.129-07:00I didn't know familysearch was incorporated wi...I didn't know familysearch was incorporated with ancestry.com.

My upload just went nuts and there is no way I would attempt to fix it. All the original errors that others have put there are still there. Too bad because it's a terrible mess. When I first started my tree I used Familysearch and learned real fast to triple check every person. The errors are beyond belief. Anyone with the same surname was added to my ancestry whether it could possibly be or not. Some were in two countries at the same time, married to their parent or to someone unidentifiable, children born in the same year as a parent, children born a hundred years after a parent was born. So many errors there I do not trust anything I see.

So I have to wonder what really happened with your file.<br /><br />First off, did you just up load your GEDCOM into the Genealogies section of Family Search where it is safe and sound and untouched? Or did you actually get your file to merge into Family Tree and go through the process of having all 3000 of your names be compared for duplicates and then confirm adding new individuals one by one? I have heard that process takes many hours and frequently hangs up completely.<br /><br />If your GEDCOM is in the Genealogies section, then it is available for other researchers to see and make use of but not to make changes to. The website also states that such a file can be removed by the contributor at any time.<br /><br />If your GEDCOM is only in the Genealogies section and you found your family information in Family Tree with a lot of errors, then what you are finding is the combined work of hundreds of different people over the past 150 years. If you don’t want to contribute to cleaning up that information by correcting errors in individuals and family relationships, then that is fine. Ideally someone in the family will some day, potentially making use of the information you contributed in your upload. What you were told by the Family Search help people, that you should not go in and just delete a large section of Family Tree is correct. That would delete everyone else's work on those lines and hide any and all ordinances for those people, making it appear as if no ordinances had ever been done for them.<br /><br />You might want to report your concerns on the discussion board with more details of what you did and what you see on FamilyTree, including specific individuals with PID numbers, and see what other comments, suggestions, and explanations you might get.Gordon Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501621351412089615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-55956091044392526222013-12-20T13:41:47.608-07:002013-12-20T13:41:47.608-07:00T.

Just use the trash can icon you will see to the right of the name of the file you uploaded. Make sure and be logged into FamilySearch. If you used the compare feature to actually add the names to Family Tree (one product on FamilySearch) then right now there is no way to do a mass removal of names.L.Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704532295080216990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-79562225028230815532013-12-19T12:58:21.205-07:002013-12-19T12:58:21.205-07:00Against my better judgment, I uploaded a GEDcom to...Against my better judgment, I uploaded a GEDcom to family search on Dec. 6, 2013. I accidentally found it and it was all wrong. Son married to his mother, spouse and/or children not listed, a total mess. How do I delete the whole tree? There is not enough time in my life to FIX it. I have over 3,000 people in my tree. I will not FIX it! familysearch won't give me any help, insisting that I not delete anything but rather make changes to the errors. Really? When Hell freezes over I might consider it. I don't even know how to find my tree. When I click "my tree" it's a blank tree with my sign in name on the pedigree and all the rest are blank so I know that is not it. Oh, why did I listen to bloggers telling me what a service I would do to others searching if I would upload my tree there. I knew better and I did it anyway. I am regretting it every minute of every day.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.com
