1.- I uploaded a large Gedcom file, yet when I look at my tree on Geni, it only has a few dozen people in it.... where are the rest?

2.- You have been editing and correcting and adding to my tree. Where do I see the details added or amended by you?

3.- Since uploading my file I have  made some considerable changes to my tree, yet you are working on my original, now outdated, Gedcom file, making a lot of your amendments irrelevent. Do I upload the new version?

3.- How do I access the 'World tree".

  Did you look at https://www.geni.com/privacy and GEDCOM?

  There are a number of help projects on Geni. you can find some links on this project: https://www.geni.com/projects/Nederlandse-handleiding-GENI-voor-Dummies/13048 (English version, bottom of page)

  Hi James, here are the answers to your questions:

  1. Your GEDCOM stopped because we detected that there were duplicates in your import. You will need to resolve these duplicates before the import will continue. Go your GEDCOM dashboard (https://www.geni.com/gedcom) to resolve the duplicates detected.

  See our FAQ for more information on how to handle matches during your GEDCOM import: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018819213-How-do-I-handle-matches-during-my-GEDCOM-import\

  2. Geni’s World Family Tree is a single shared, collaborative family tree. You can see what changes are made in each profile by viewing the revisions tab. See our blog post for more details on how to understand profile revisions https://www.geni.com/blog/geni-tips-understanding-profile-revisions-110162.html

  3. No, the GEDCOM importer is not intended to be used in this way. The importer should only be used to import profiles that don't yet exist on Geni. Updates will need to be done manually or you might be able to use SmartCopy, a third-party browser extension. See https://www.geni.com/projects/SmartCopy/18783

  4. You are already connected to the World Family Tree, which currently connects over 180 million profiles. You can see this in the statistics module on your homepage.
