Gedcoms don't always load correctly. It might be best if ask support for help. They'll probably be out of the office until Monday.

Importing gedcoms is seldom wholly successful. It's a procedure which is beset with problems, especially, it would appear, on this site.

Editing one's tree manually is the best way to ensure accuracy

Contact [email protected] for advice.

Explain clearly to them what you want to do and what problems you have encountered.

It sounds as if it's a different problem to the one you had before.
