"Pam, Sorry I don't know nor use Rootsweb for uploading GEDCOM files. You might look for a Rootsweb Group page. A GEDCOM file is a GEDCOM file from Family Tree Maker. What happens on Rootsweb, I can't help you with. Russ"

"Can I piggy-back here? Because I have a similar question (I use FTM 2009 and Windows 7). For the first time, I am interested in adding a GEDCOM from Rootsweb to my FTM database. If I upload it as a new tree, it will be separate from what I have…"

"Penny, I did NOT suggest that you remove any source-citations. Bottom line here. The feature you want is NOT in version 2010. Again, IF you have an old version of Family Tree Maker (Version 11 or earlier) that Feature does exist. I explained…"

"Russ, No, I'm afraid I don't own a previous version. Before purchasing FTM2010 I was using an older version of RootsMagic. Penny"

"Penny, I offered a suggestion to you. (old version) I can not tell you how many times that users wanted the feature removed. The developers listened. (I guess). Again, I do understand what you are trying to do. Russ"

"I don't want to remove any source citations or other information from the file. I just want to add a source citation that explains where I got this data. I have a dozen gedcoms from other researchers and it is a real pain to open each of them…"

Importing gedcom with citation in FTM2010

I have a gedcom provided by another researcher than I would like to import into my research database but I would like all of the new information to have a source citation that points back to this researcher/database. Is there a way to apply a single source to all the facts imported?I thought the simplest method might be to open the gedcom as a new tree and try to apply a single source to all the facts first, but I can't see any way to apply a single citation to multiple facts/persons. Is there…See More

"I was on the site for a while before it happened. I believe I was clicking the link on my profile page to go to a virtual cemetery. I have since clicked the same link without incident. It may be one particular ad in their rotation."
