invalid gedcom? genealogy?

answers1: Your file could be corrupt or there could be a problem with
Ancestry in uploading at the moment. It's hard to say. <br>
<br>
Check your file first and if you feel it's fine, you might try
contacting Ancestry tech support about it.
answers2: Make a backup of the file (just in case), and put it aside. <br>
Try exporting a new file from your genealogy program and give it a
different name. Your computer could have had an issue while making
the first file, thus it might be corrupted. <br>
Test the new output file (you could call it testing.ged), then try
importing it BACK into your program as if it came from elsewhere.
Just be sure you are making a new database (separate from your main
file). Thus, if it 'comes' back in with no problem, you know the
problem is not your end. <br>
Something else that is possible is that you have had a normal file,
and resaved it, calling it a .ged file when it isn't. I've done that
even with 20+ yrs computer background. <br>
Or the problem could be at their end, ie server issues, so forth.
