So, if anyone is having #StickerShock from #AncestryCom price increases, I would advise downloading your GEDCOM file, then find another service. I would also advise downloading any photos and important records as well. Making people pay just to preserve their trees is extortion, imho. I have links to Windows software, but if anyone knows of a free Mac OS GEDCOM editor, please let me know. Most of the Mac ones seem to be paid software.

Yes, You CAN Download Your Tree From Ancestry.com - Here's How

Can you download your family tree from Ancestry.com? The answer is yes. We see this question quite a bit so we thought we'd quickly show you how.

When you're on Ancestry, do you ever:
* Swear that someone else *must* have changed your tree (even though you know that's not possible)?

* Think that people are missing from your tree or that they "somehow" got disconnected from other people in your tree?

* Accept Hints from other people's trees, or maybe you used to do so, early on?

There's a good chance you have duplicates in your tree, and you might not even realize it.

A lot of Genealogists have been having problems with a glitch in Ancestry, where it creates duplicates of people already in their trees. Here's how to fix the problem now, in the easiest way possible, and how to avoid it in the future.

Do NOT delete the duplicates! This can mess up relationships in your tree, and cause you to lose sources & hint matches. Instead, try this…

Dealing with Ancestry’s “Duplicates” Glitch

If you use Ancestry’s online trees, you will inevitably run across their glitch of creating duplicates for various people in your tree. But don’t worry, and do NOT simply delete any dup…

🧵 2) On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags like #Genealogy, #Genealogist, #Geneadons, #FamilyTrees and other similar hashtags. Be sure to follow and post to the group account @geneadons with any genealogy-related posts.

3) One of the biggest things you need to do when #ScanningPhotos is to RENAME YOUR FILES, so people who look at your files later will know who is in the images. Always list females by maiden names, even if they were married at the time. Include as much info in the filename as you can (date, place, etc).

Do not use commas in the filenames, as this can cause some files to blow up on some computer systems.

For names and file management, here is Part Two of my "Avoiding Common Mistakes" blog for #Genealogists.

Avoiding Common Problems, Part 2: File Management

It’s so easy to get caught up in the excitement of research and the fascinating stories we discover, and forget about one of the most important aspects of Genealogy: file management.
