GeneaNet: Quick Tips #2
This week, you will find some tips on how to index your online family tree, how to add family pictures in your family tree pages and how to change your family tree root.
How to index your online family tree?
When manually entering new data in your GeneaNet online family tree, you will need to index your data to make it searchable.
Go to the page "My GeneaNet : Online Family Tree : Update : Index your Data" then click "Index your data to make it searchable". Your data will now appear in the GeneaNet search result lists.
How to add family pictures in your family tree pages?
Go to your online family tree homepage. Log in as a "wizard" and select an individual. On the bottom of the page, click on the "Update Individual, Family, Media" link.
You will be taken to a new page where you will just have to click on the "Send an image" link to upload a picture.
How to change your family tree root?
Log on to your online family tree as "Wizard", then select an individual and click "Update - Individual/Family". This will open a window that shows you a list of available update options. Click "Set to home individual" to set the selected individual as your family tree root.
Sosa numbers will be automatically assigned to your family tree root ancestors.

When uploading a gedcom file to geneanet, the program fails to recognise the images and, in case of a large database such as mine of over 12,000 individuals, it is impractical to add the images by hand.
Is there some way that geneanet can automatically insert the images contained in the gedcom file?
Best regards
Unfortunately, there's no way to automatically insert the images contained in the gedcom file.
Pity but thanks for letting me know.
I've tried the method indicated above for changing the family tree root. No 'Home Individual" option appears.

I can see the link "Set to home individual" in your family tree individual pages. Did you logged in as a wizard?
Filing and/or updating is something cumbersome in this system, therefore I have not been able to complete my family tree. Sorry, but this is my experience. My free time is short, and I usually spend at Geneanet a lot of it, often with no positive results.
