If you do not have a year in the birth section, you just have a christening date, when you upload a gedcom to the Family Tree Forum data base, those people will not appear. Unfortunately the database has been set up only to recognise the term Baptism, not Christening. The only way round that is to put a year in the birth space, but if you don’t know the birth year. That is not always possible. So the alternative is to change Legacy.
• Options
• Customise
• Click the data format tab
• In the right hand column change the term for christening to Bap/Baptism
• Save
Baptism will now have replaced christening as the description and when you upload your gedcom onto this site, the people will appear
