Transferring files from one computer to another.

Hi, I have just purchased FH6 and before I import my gedcom file I have some questions. I have a laptop and my big computer, can anyone explain to me how I can transfer data from one to the other to keep both up to date?

I am wanting to delete my tree on ancestry because I am fed up with all the problems and duplicates. I spend more time cleaning up than I do research. So can anyone tell me what they think of Find My Past, maybe I will upload to them.

Thank You.

Hi, according to your posting Internet Data Matches (13100) in 2015, you already had FH V6 then.
So why have you just purchased FH V6 again?
Maybe you only had the 30-day Trial Version then and have NOT been using FH since 2015.

The basic process for migrating from PC to PC is given in the how_to:family_historian_migration_guide|> Family Historian V5 & V6 Migration Guide.

The Further Advice section reminds you to also migrate Ancestral Sources and how to use Project synchronisation tools.

If you need any specific advice then please ask.

See the how_to:exporting_gedcom_with_multimedia|> Exporting a Family Tree with/without Media advice for exporting to FindMyPast especially the Export to Website Without Sensitive Data section.
