When an import is refused

Why. Importing would replace everyone in the Family, and with them

the work in every TreeLine built on it, so the import is not started.

Nothing has been changed.

What to do instead.

  • Update GEDCOM brings newer research from a GEDCOM file into this

    Family while keeping your TreeLines. It shows every change first and

    backs up the Family before anything changes.
  • Start a new Family from the file.
