About 4 weeks ago i noticed my recent notes field entries were being erased when uploading a gedcom file from Ancestry. Grateful if you could rectify this

Thanks

I don't know if you are aware of it but when you upload a gedcom it will OVERWRITE ALL INFORMATION that was previously shown on the site.

Just to explain a little more..

Over the past two years, when I have imported info from an ancestry file, where the core details change ie names/dates/places these will be update on my tribalpages site. However, when there are ‘notes’ that I have already entered directly into the tribalpages database, these have until about 4 weeks ago remained unchanged by the new ancestry file, into which no notes have been entered.

When I import a gedcom it overtypes the core fields of names, date , ages but does not overwrite the pictures and notes field. This seem correct and has been the way for the past year. Only now has it started erasing the the notes field entries..
