The Family Tree DNA website allows GEDCOM files to be uploaded as described in the Import Details below. Visit https://www.familytreedna.com/ for details.
The Character Set Encoding options for ANSI & UTF-8 and all Unicode characters are supported.
By default all Media are excluded because Family Tree DNA does not upload them.
See both the (FTD+) Full Data Export Details and (FTD-) Brief Data Export Details below.
All the (Std+) Full Data Standard GEDCOM 5.5 rules apply except as defined below.
If an associated Birth (BIRT) event does not exist, then the first of these events is converted to a Birth (BIRT) event and its Date is reduced to just the year and made approximate. This is because for DNA purposes only Birth and Death events are significant.
If an associated Death (DEAT) event does not exist, then the first of these events is converted to a Death (DEAT) event and its Date is reduced to just the year and made approximate. This is because for DNA purposes only Birth and Death events are significant.
All the (Std-) Brief Data Standard GEDCOM 5.5 rules apply.
See How to Upload Your GEDCOM in the The Family Tree DNA Learning Center.
