GENEAL-FORUM

Geneal-Forum has recently been enhanced with a new feature: Geneal-Tree was added.
This new function enables all registered users to publish her/his own research results.
Please, follow these instructions to do this:

1. Open Geneal-Tree
- either directly at http://www.geneal-forum.com/tng
- or by clicking on the new button "Geneal-Tree" in the Menu.
- Then select your language.

2. Create your user account
- via http://www.geneal-forum.com/tng/newacctform.php
- or by clicking (within Geneal-Tree) on the button "Register for a User Account"
- Fill in the form, accept the conditions and click on apply.

3. The application will be checked by the administrator (please, allow some time). You will be notified by mail about the acceptance, including your password.

4. Export a Gedcom file with your genealogy programme. Make sure
- to export only the fields you want to publish on Geneal-Tree;
- to use the character set UTF-8.

5. Login to Geneal-Tree (http://www.geneal-forum.com/tng/login.php).
Then proceed as follows:
- select the "administration" submenu;
- click on "import/export data"
- select the previously created gedcom file and the tree in which to import it and click on "Import".
Then follow further instructions on the screen.

6. With family tree files, whose size exceeds approx. 20 MB, the import is aborted. This is due to the security settings of the server. In such a case, the file can be sent to the Geneal-Tree administrator (Nico) via email, Dropbox or WETransfer, who will then take over the upload and import.

Your ancestral data will then be online and may be consulted by all visitors of the site.
Data of living persons or persons marked "private" will not be displayed.
Comments and references will be shown.
