I think you are right; I created a GEDCOM file very quickly to be able to print the tree diagrams. Didn't really study the information booklet in detail as at the time I was in a hurry and just wanted the means to print off trees. I can export a GEDCOM file from Genes Reunited. And yes, I realise it's not fully compatible. Thank you so much for all the assistance. I'll give all you suggest a go. Jo On Mon, 30 Mar 2020 at 00:08, Mike Tate <post@...> wrote:

Hi Chris, It sounds like you only created a GEDCOM file, rather than a Project, within Family Historian (FH). i.e. After opening FH you use File > Gedcom File Tasks rather than File > Project Window. Please confirm.
Genes Reunited has far fewer features than FH and its GEDCOM file format is not totally compatible. That probably explains why some of your data did not transfer over.
Do you know how to export a GEDCOM file from Genes Reunited?
Having got that GEDCOM use File > Project Window > New Project > Import a GEDCOM File as advised by David. You will then need to make a great many adjustments by hand and using Plugins to make the data FH compatible. The original GEDCOM source material, etc, may be useful for inserting into your new Project so don’t delete that yet.
There is advice in the FHUG Knowledge Base wiki on Importing to Family Historian: https://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:index#importing_to_family_historian It does not have specific advice for Genes Reunited but read the steps of other products to get a general idea of the process and how to repair common residual problems.
BTW: See the advice in the FHUG Knowledge Base wiki on Key Features for Newcomers: https://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:key_features_for_newcomers

I bought Family Historian 6 some time ago, used it to create family tree diagrams to print for various family members I was visiting, then didn’t update it. My tree is stored and updated on Genes Reunited. Now I want to use Family Historian 6 to the full, but the original GEDCOM I transferred is completely out of date. I would like to delete the whole thing and transfer a new GEDCOM from Genes Reunited. How do I do this? I’ve found information on how it should be done in the Help Guide but I still can’t work out how to even get to a delete button. I don’t want to merge, just begin again, as none of the source material, anecdotes, etc transferred over anyway. My own project is located in a different place to where it suggests it should be located. I have to access it via the Sample Project window, and go into File. Please help.
