Where is my tree?
I just downloaded a Gedcom. Was told it completed. I cannot find the complete tree I only see my information. How do I find the 3440 people in my tree?

When you upload a GEDCOM to FamilySearch, it becomes part of the Pedigree Resource File pedigree collection. You get to it by going to the Genealogies section and choosing to search in that section:
If you search for someone you know is in your submission you should be able to find that person. However, that first search can be a little tricky. If you can't find anyone, post the information about a person who should be there and someone here can probably help.
When you do find that one person, be sure to make a note of the Submission ID for your GEDCOM:
Then in the future you can easily get to your submission by using the last portion of that submission ID:
When you say that "I only see my information," where are you looking? In Family Tree? Uploading a GEDCOM does not add anything to Family Tree. To do that, you are required to go through each person in your GEDCOM one at a time checking each person for duplicates and specifying what information you want to transfer over. It is quite labor intensive and requires a lot of care. Usually it is easier to not use a GEDCOM but just have your personal genealogy data file open in one window, Family Tree open in another, and do the one by one transfer manually. Keep in mind that since Family Tree is a single tree for all users, 90% of your 3440 people may well already be in Family Tree.
If you want information about how to transfer information from your new Pedigree Resource File tree to Family Tree, that would be a different and longer post than this one. But feel free to ask.

Another way to find your PRF trees is by the name you gave the tree. You find that name by going back to where you originally uploaded the GEDCOM:
Then go to the Pedigree Resource File section of Genealogies:
Click on View All Trees In This Collection then type your tree name in the the Keyword search box to find your tree:
I can't tell you why typing in the exact name puts my tree 11th on the list. But at least it is there!

Did you just upload a tree (send it from your computer to FS) or download a tree (pull it from FS onto your computer)? Your question talks about downloading, but the two responses above mine talk about uploading.

Since it is impossible to download a GEDCOM from Family Tree, I assumed he really meant uploading.

I just wanted the tree to have my people, their parents, their kids all together like it is in Tribal Pages I guess this site is not for me. You keep saying Family Tree I thought I was in Wikitree sorry for the mixup.
