* Exporting to Tribal Pages

[lindad]

Would appreciate some advice please! Until recently I've done very little work on my tree during the last few years and my brain isn't quite on gear... especially as I'm also getting to grips with the new version of FH.

The last time I tried to export my FH gedcom to Tribal Pages I got into all sorts for trouble. It is something I used to do almost weekly without problem, but then FH gedcom files changed and were no longer compatible. I exported the gedcom and it wiped out the hundreds of images that I already had saved to TP. I was eventually able to get everything restored but it was a very stressful experience I am keen to avoid again!

Would appreciate any tips please!

Firstly, can you please update your profile shown on the right of your posting to say Family Historian: V7
Click on your username and navigate to Edit Profile, select FH V7, then scroll down to SUBMIT.

Can you provide a potted history of your successes and failures to migrate your GEDCOM to Tribal Pages.

When was it successful almost every week (i.e. which FH Version) and what export method did you use?
Did you use the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File... command or the 'Export Gedcom File' plugin?

When it started causing trouble, which FH Version was that?
What export method did you use?

I ask for that history because going from FH V6 to FH V7 does change the GEDCOM format from 5.5 to 5.5.1.
Tribal Pages only supports GEDCOM 5.5 but the 'Export Gedcom File' plugin handles that conversion.
However, that plugin excludes all links to Media images because Tribal Pages does not allow the bulk upload of images.
What the plugin does do is offer a way of loading multi-instance facts like Census, Occupation, Residence that Tribal Pages does not accept with a standard GEDCOM.
