Recently I wrote about my inability to get “We’re Related” – the new Ancestry.com ap working. Every time I tried to switch my Main Tree to yes I’d get an error message. \u00a0I surmised that it was because my tree was too large and I’m still going with that theory. \u00a0I figured out a work around and if you’re interested, here’s what to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I created a new database in RootsMagic7 (Click File – New) and made the file name: \u00a0Lori’s Lines. \u00a0You name yours whatever you want! \u00a0I disabled WebHints and clicked “I know where the file is.”<\/li>\n
  2. Next I dragged myself from my Main Tree gedcom that was already uploaded in RootsMagic to the click person location. A pop up asks what you want to drag and drop and I selected “Ancestors of myself.”<\/li>\n
  3. On this new database, I then went to File – Export and unchecked LDS information, addresses, multimedia, note formatting and extra details because I wanted to make the new gedcom as concise as possible. \u00a0I clicked “Privatize living people” and then clicked ok. \u00a0I saved the gedcom on my desktop.<\/li>\n
  4. Clicking on the ribbon “TREES” on Ancestry.com, I used the drop down menu to click “Create & Manage New Trees.” \u00a0At the bottom, I clicked “Upload a Gedcom file.” \u00a0I chose the file sitting on my desktop and named the tree the same as the Gedcom. \u00a0I also made the tree private. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because I only want people to use my Main Tree on Ancestry and not this subset tree. \u00a0Back in the day, I had several lines separated and when people would email me, I never knew which tree they were referring to. \u00a0I will never be doing anything with this newly uploaded tree other than using it for the ap so I also went to settings and made sure I turned off the hints. \u00a0I DO NOT want more email telling me they found something! \u00a0(Personally, I’m really tired of seeing the “Direct Bloodline” and pics of red crosses. \u00a0To me, those aren’t hints and I wish there was a way to filter that stuff out.) Then I clicked the little box that I accept the submission.<\/li>\n
  5. You’re almost done! \u00a0Now, open the We’re Related ap on your phone. \u00a0(If you haven’t downloaded it go to Google Play Store on Android or whatever you do on IPhone and install it). \u00a0I then selected the newly uploaded tree – “Lori’s Lines” and slid the no to yes. \u00a0I selected myself as the person in my tree. \u00a0It stays on and works!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    I decided to do the same for my husband’s lines and followed the same process above. \u00a0I did have to select myself as him on We’re Related because I wasn’t an available choice. \u00a0Remember, I had pruned these new Gedcoms to bare basics -on my tree only my direct ancestors so our marriage, siblings and children weren’t imported. \u00a0Can’t wait to get in a crowd and try it out!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
