I have other episodes on how to set up a free tree on Ancestry and or MyHeritage to learn how to do that. I have an episode called “ : How to Share Your Tree With Another” if you want to share or add someone to your account.

You can do this by making a backup from your family tree software and share it with a family member, keep a copy in the cloud, or set up a free tree somewhere else like Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast or others. On the flip side of that, if your research is only on your own computer, you should have a backup of your tree somewhere. Note: This is not really the ideal way to back up your data, but more of a way to transfer your data to some other service or software. While I believe whole-heartedly in Ancestry’s ability to keep our data safe, I like to be assured that my decades of research is backed up somewhere, even if it is my own computer as a Gedcom file. Regardless whether you have a free tree on Ancestry or a paid subscription, it’s always a good idea to have a backup of your data. Let’s start with why you should download your tree. It saves you a ton of typing if you want to transfer your tree to another service. It’s the data (not the records or images) from your family tree… when exported to a Gedcom file. It’s family history file format containing the data from your family tree and has been around forever it seems. Technically it stands for ( Genealogical Data Communications) Boring! Lastly, why should you download your family tree from Ancestry or any other service? Alternatively, I get the question… How can you download your family tree and upload it to another service? I get this question all the time, about how to download your family tree.
