Thank you for your offer of help - you may regret it! Firstly, from the two screenshots of my import errors, can you explain exactly what the errors are and how do I fix them? Just the one example may be enough to guide me with a lot of the others as they appear to relate to addresses. Thanks again

ENGLISH / Ancestris User Guide

« on: May 06, 2026, 08:27:46 »

I’ve just moved from Family Historian to Ancestris and imported a Gedcom file. The Import has given me errors but I’m struggling to know exactly what they mean or how to fix them. I can’t find any Tutorials on Youtube and the Ancestris website doesn’t appear to have any form of User Guide - only overviews of the software, but not how to actually use it.
Can anyone please point me to where I can start to rectify these errors and move on with using the software?
Thank you

Thank you.  I've got the Gedcom imported but with errors so I now have a lot of learning to do!

Hi. I’m completely new to Ancestris and I’m looking for some guidance. I have a saved Gedcom file (from Family Hostorian it was actually a GDZ file) and on initial Import I get the message that it’s not 100% Gedcom compatibile, with the options to convert or leave as is with potential Gedcom anomalies. Which is the better option to save problems further down the line. If I convert, is there a way of checking what may have been changed?
Thank you for any help offered.
