Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 6 Send Message	I am returning to Genes Reunited after a break and want to update my online tree. Will uploading a new gedcom file update my current tree? Im worried about wiping the current one and not being able to upload a replacement. What file format do i use for the new Gedcom file as my Geneaology programme offers several? Thanks in advance

	Welcome back, Haydon. If you upload a new GEDCOM to your existing account, it will overwrite the old tree - you'll lose the old tree, in effect. You could open an additional GR account (a free one) , using a different email address from your main one, and upload the file to a new tree on that account, so that you could still keep the old tree as well. One tree per account. Info here re uploading a GEDCOM file: https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/help/faqs?key=448&searchterm=gedcom For any more technical questions re file format, best to contact: [email protected] They'll take a few days to reply.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
