Since re-importing my tree, when I open it, it starts with an ancestor half way through my tree. How do I change it to start with myself and family?

Hy Bryony
same thing happened to me ,send Genes a message asking them to make you the home person in your tree.

And i think on your own family tree software select yourself as the master source or something like that and then when importing onto here it may show up as yourself as the home person.

Never tried it.. but never know though
