To update or correct information for the GEDCOM that you have submitted to WorldConnect, revise the data in your genealogy file and create a new GEDCOM.Use the same user code and password that you used originally toupload the new file. (If you don't remember your user code and/or password, you can have them sent to you by e-mail from PasswordCentral.) The new file will overwrite the old one as long as you use the same user code and password.

Specify the location of the new GEDCOM in the appropriate box on the set-up page either by typing it in or browsing to it on your computer. If no path is shown in this box, WorldConnect will expect you to update options for the existing GEDCOM rather than upload a new one.

Click on the upload/update button and wait for the new GEDCOM to be uploaded to replace the old one. Wait for the message confirming that the upload was successful.

If you only have one or two minor corrections or updates to make to your GEDCOM, you might list them in Post-Em Notes rather than upload a new file.
