In my family tree it says Founded by: my uncle name, but I want it to be my name.

One thing is changed in FamilyEcho (I'm glad!): when you import a FamilyEcho file you will be asked whom to make the 'Back to me' person.

So:
1.  in your tree you  click the "Download" link (bottom line)

2.  You choose the FamilyScript format and click the "Download" button. Then click the "Done" button

3.  Now click the "My Account button" (top right)

4.  Click the "Create or import new family" button (below)

5.  Click the "Import GEDCOM or FamilyScript..." button.

6.  Click the "Browse" button. Choose the FamilyScript file you just downloaded. Then click the "Import" button.

7.  Now you read "Please choose yourself from this list". Click the button to the right of "Name:"

8.  Finding the right person is made easier: type the first letter of the First name repeatedly.

9.  Check the other data. If correct click the "Finih import" button.

PRESTO.

Here's a refined version of that:

1.  In your tree, click the "Download" link (bottom line).

2.  You choose the FamilyScript format and click the "Download" button. Then click "Done."

3.  Now click the "My Account" button (top right).

4.  Click the "Create or import new family" button (below).

5.  Click the "Import GEDCOM or FamilyScript" button.

6.  Click the "Browse" button. Choose the FamilyScript file you just downloaded. Then click the "Import" button.

7.  Now you read "Please choose yourself from this list". Click the button to the right of the "Name" button.

8.  Finding the right person is made easier: type the first letter of the First name and do so in order with all other letters in the person's name..

9.  Check the other data. If correct, click the "Finish Import" button.
