Can you download Roots Magic into Family Search? If so, how?

Gerrolyn Anderson

I have a friend who is asking if they can download the information from Root's magic into Family Search. If so, what are the steps to do this?

Julia Szent-Györgyi

You sort of can, but please, just don't. Most of the people in your friend's RootsMagic file probably already have profiles here, and a mass upload would just create a mess of duplication for people to clean up.

See Gordon's comments and video: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/153520/add-imported-gedcom-file-to-existing-tree#latest.

RootsMagic syncs with FamilySearch Family Tree. Please reach out to RootsMagic for instructions on how to sync each person one-by-one in your RootsMagic database with FamilySearch.

Thank you. I will pass the word along.
