Updating a Family from a new file

Where to find it. TreeLines, then Update on the Family. Choose

the kind of file and Continue.

The two kinds.

  • GEDCOM — your complete research from genealogy software (Ancestry,

    Family Tree Maker and others). New and changed details come in; people

    and facts an earlier import gave you that the file no longer has can be

    removed.
  • Spreadsheet template — the Family spreadsheet from Export,

    edited in Excel. Your edits come in; blank cells and missing rows are

    kept unless you choose otherwise.

What to expect. You see every change, and TreeLine makes a backup,

before anything changes.
