Too many old and abandoned databases are cluttering the WorldConnect. ---- David- While your advice is good that old trees should be removed to avoid duplicates, it isn't necessary when posting an updated GEDCOM to WorldConnect to remove the old GEDCOM first--as long as you use the original user code and password when uploading the updated file. The updated GEDCOM will override the old one automatically. When updating a tree submitted on the Ancestry side, care does have to be taken to ensure the old file is removed and that you are not creating a duplicate. Also, it should be noted that the same tree should not be uploaded on both the Ancestry and WorldConnect side--as the databases are merged for purposes of browsing and searching. Joan
