From personal experience, I can say that merging in the wrong order DOES cause a problem when uploading the file to GR. I haven't yet sussed out why this is or how the 'new' home person is re-defined in the merged file. |

I have this problem with my tree, and I've been able to fix it with PAF. This uses Gedcom 5.5, so I assume that isn't the problem. |

If you merge on FTM then make sure that you start with your own tree and merge the others into it, otherwise you will end up with someone else as the 'Home' person when you export a file. |

You can't change the home person with FTM (at least, not with the 2006 version). |

Best thing to do if you have not allready is to buy a offline tree programme like family tree maker or roots magic. |

Previous threads suggest that you cannot do it yourself. |
