According to the family tree list for my account, I have 5000 ancestors.  However, I can only export a maximum of 890 profiles to a GEDCOM file.

 

How can I export all 5000 ancestors?

 

Thanks,

Todd

  Limits:

  Basic users - GEDCOM exports are limited to 5x the number of profiles you've added and up to a maximum of 5000 profiles

  Plus/Pro users - GEDCOM exports are limited to 5x the number of profiles you've added and up to a maximum of 100,000 profiles

  So, the answer is that you can't - not in a single export.  890 is what you've added 178 x 5.  This was done to limit users from joining Geni, exporting our data, then uploading it somewhere else.  It should provide enough to backup your tree, which is the general purpose.
