    Default HELP dont understand gedcom

    Hi



    I am really rubbish with computers. I am trying to download my tree from Ancestry.com so i can upload it here but dont know how to download it i thought i had but do not know how to save it to my computer. Please help as i have a gedcom file from genes reunited but i have added so much more since i downloaded that one the thought of typing it all again fills me with fear ha ha.



    Thanks

    Louise

    Hi Louise,



    So I know how far you have got. Can you open your tree on Ancestry.

    On the right hand side towards the bottom go to Tools and click on manage tree.

    When new window opens where it says Download gedcom, has it got a picture of a computer disc by it or a yellow file ?

    Hi Louise,



    Click where it says download tree. You should get a message saying "We are preparing ....... to prepare it for download in GEDCOM file format...The file will be available shortly.

    If you have not already got a gedcom reader on your computer you will need to download one first.
