<font size="-1"><font face="sans-serif">I am looking to start up my own
family's site. I had some questions for new setups. If this isnt the
right mailing list, kindly direct me to the correct one, and I will
post there. I thought this was a good place to start. Apologies also
if it's too much information, I think typing it out might just help me
sort out my thoughts.<br>
<br>
Ive got a GEDCOM database already. It is pretty complete and dates
from 1620s-1860s. My goal is to put this database online, and allow
other members of my family to continue from the main DB. Naturally, I
welcome other members to download this DB to help them. But I am
really only concerned about the continuation from the larger DB. <br>
<br>
For example. I downloaded phpgedview a few weeks ago, uploaded this
main DB. I had not yet connected my own family to my descendants in
this larger DB. Then a few days ago I did. So now I want to update
the DB, but I really only need to add the few relatives that this
involves. I don't need/want to re-upload the entire DB, just so I can
add a dozen people. I use GRAMPS on my desktop, and I can export only
a defined branch of the tree. I also see that there is the ability to
have and maintain several GEDCOMs on phpgedview. So is this the
preferred/accepted method? Have people upload their own family's
GEDCOM and somehow connect it to the larger GEDCOM? Is this possible?<br>
<br>
I think I am on the right track, I was just wondering if this was how
other people handle similar situations?<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your help!<br>
