How do I get the tree out of Ancestry.com?
I have a one year trial of Ancestry.com and have built up a huge tree with thousands of hours work and Ancestry's records. So now how do I get it out so I use it on my Family Tree Maker & P.A.F. Software? Can I export a Gedcom or is my work forever stuck in Ancestry.com unusable? Do I have to copy and paste 20,000 names, sources, and facts?
carol b, Thats it! Thanks, It works the same here, and I got a gedcom. -:-)

Once you are logged into Ancestry, click on My Ancestry
You should see you tree listed.
Click on Manage Tree
Beside Management Tools you will see the link for export tree.
I can only access Ancestry UK, but I think it should be same for the Com

You download the tree in gedcom file and it should be able to upload it into your software on your computer.
You said you a subscription to ancestry so you should be able to call or email the help desk with your question too. They would probably give you step by step instructions.
Let us know how it goes. Bonnie
