I downloaded my GEDCOM file from Ancestry and tried to upload it but it is too large. Is there a workaround?

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    .

    Firstly ...

    Please be, aware; and, advised ...

    That there is CURRENTLY, a significant Problem/Issue, regarding the "Upload", of GEDCOM Files, in 'FamilySearch'.

    [ And, it is NOT just a problem/issue, for GEDCOM Files, that are LARGE ... ]

    That problem/issue, currently in under investigation.

    Cannot upload my 107MB GEDCOM file

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/113813/cannot-upload-my-107mb-gedcom-file

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/113813/cannot-upload-my-107mb-gedcom-file

    .

    Secondly ...

    In regard to the "Size", of your GEDCOM File ...

    I would humbly suggest, when "Creating" your GEDCOM File, "Breaking", your "Pedigree", on "Anestry_com", up into SMALLER "Chunks" (ie. Parts/Sections); being, specific "Branches"/"Lines", that way, into SMALLER "Files"; and, then, "Uploading" the individual GEDCOM Files.

    Good Luck.

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
