Hi there, I've been using Genopro for over 2 years now & have got myself in a real mess, having upwards of 200 seperate files/trees saved on my computer. 

w00t

You see the original tree got too big, so I chose to start a new one for each branch of the family, by saving the original one & then using "save as" to create a new file, deleting the individuals not necessary for that particular family .............

I'm very well organised, each file is saved under the family name & the generation number, and I can find my way around it very easily BUT now I want to publish my findings as a whole huge tree & don't know how to go about fixing the whole lot together again !!! 

I am NOT technically minded - I suffer from severe M.E. & am housebound & mostly bedbound - so the family history research is a very important part of my life. However I don't want all my hard work to be lost, when I'm either unable to continue, or when I pop my clogs ( a northern English term for dying!!!)  

Can someone please offer some VERY SIMPLE advice please ? 

Thanks in anticipation

I cannot recall other way but to:

1. create a new file and

2. copy/paste data from all single families files, one at the time...

3.  When you do it you "just" have to remove overlapping individuals, and then

4.  connnect individuals with their parent's/children's families... with "link as ..." command.

Simple enough?

 

If the trees become too complicated, consider creating of an Internal hyperlink of a person to another genomap, and continue from there on...

Now there's a brave person !!!

I might well take you up on that, if I get stuck !!! BigGrin

Thanks for all the advice - I've made a start by going through each file & deleting some that are/were duplicated, so I reckon I'll be down to 100 in no time !!Rolleyes

After that, I'm going to have a go at sorting these hyperlinks - once I can get that done, I reckon I'll be on my way to getting the whole thing together (she says hopefully!!!!).

I'm struggling with this hyperlink thing !  I've only ever used the basic Genopro - I do have Genopro Beta, but it seems to do strange things to my files - children aren't attached to parents & so on.

Ermm

I'll keep trying, but since I've had this blinking M.E. the "brain-fog" makes the most simple tasks seem so blinking difficult. (SCREAMS!!!!)

Ah well, back to the deceased family ...............

GenoPro Beta has a different file structure than GenoPro. Thus, you can open the old files in the Beta, but you can't open the new ones with the old version.

However - GenoPro Beta creates a third file: "YourFile.v1x.gno". This file you can open in the old version, as GenoPro Beta saves it in the old file format.

GenoPro beta creates files of different type, and besides xyz.gno, also creates redundant copies xyz.v1x.gno (compatible with GenoPro you are using v1.xx) and xyz.xml.

If you really need to open files with "old" GenoPro, the only version you can use is xyz.v1x.gno, but, it doesn't support many features from within GenoPro beta (as genomaps, many types of relationships between persons etc.) so they won't be preserved in v1x version file!

If you choose to open xyz.v1x.gno with Beta, on exit it will save copies under names xyz.v1x.gno, xyz.v1x.v1x.gno, and xyz.v1x.xml... so try to avoid it... It complicates things...

I know that "beta" sounds as if it is only a half-product, but I have to recommend it. It's as stable as "older" versions, has many new features....

But, just in case, at the end of a day, make a copy of your file to place other then default folder... I strongly suggest itSmile
