Hi I have always just kept my tree on Genes and not exported it to any software mainly because I have no idea which software to use. There just seems so many out there. I want to do this so I can make copies for family members. I have also made a bit of a mess by starting the tree in my husbands name but then adding my family to the tree too and I want to sort it out into two trees. I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you. Adena |

Hi Sharon. May I suggest you change your user name as there is another Dermot and I also suggest you don’t use Sharon either as we have a Sharron and I think another Sharon. |

Hi nameslessone thank you for your reply. I've changed my name but I am unsure of how to change the username but I will look into it. thanks. I will also read up on Family Tree Maker too. |

Oops. Sorry, I didn’t explain very well. I meant don’t use Sharron/Sharon as your user name. |

I had my tree on GR (and still do, in addition to RootsMagic), and downloaded it as a GEDCOM file. |

Thank you for that advice. It makes sense really to upload twice and then delete part of each tree. |

Yes, although a pain to do, it's easier than having to put everything in again from scratch. |

If I remember correctly, the advice for FTM was to delete the person that joined the two trees (making sure there were no notes attached etc)then you could move the remainder of the tree and then re enter the missing person. |
