after reading Maureens problems with losing her tree, i had a look at Dancers suggestion about Tribal Pages, Ive noe downloaded my gedcom file, and its a great site, would recommend it to any one worried about their tree, ive had some fun on it already and i know my tree is safe.

I can also sympathise with Maureens problem. I had exactly the same thing happen to me. Lost all data from the hard drive and had not backed up to CD. Fortunately I had an up to date version on tribal pages which was a life saver. Nedless to say it is all backed up now. Regards Shona

I'm just uploading mine to there now! I don't have the facility to back up to CD and I've tried saving a copy to Floppy this afternoon and it says there's not enough space on the disc!

Lou, it might take a few hows to load depending on the size. mine took 4.5 hrs for a 32.4mb file to load but it looks good now its online.

Lunar I'm useless with all this bytes, mb and kb. How do you work out how many MB your file was from the bytes????? Lou

I've used Tribal Pages for quite a while too and love it! It's great to have an address to pass on to family members so they can have a look at what you've been up to. Jeanette x

When I cheaked the file was in GEDCOM format the size of the file popped up aswell - if your using the free site you can only upload a file up to 40MB so be careful, my file only had about 250 people but was 32.4 MB. the conversion is 1KB = 1014 Bytes 1MB = 1014 KB I think 1GB = 1014 MB and 1TB = 1014 GB I could have the last 2 the wrong way around. The normal estimate is 1000 bytes => 1kb and so on.
