Please explain!?
.
If you are talking about "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", have you even looked to see if any of those id you database ALREADY exist in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"!?
.
This is where NEW Users/Patrons do not understand ...
.
Many of the individuals/persons most probably ALREADY exist in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
Use the "Find" facility/function/feature to Search "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", you may be surprised to find some (if not, many) of them already there.
.
Many well established and documented (eg. "Sourced") individuals/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" have been RUINED by the upload a GEDCOM File into "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
We ONLY have "Branches", that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is NOT like "Ancestry_com" or the like.
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" like other "Web" Sites; and/or, 'standalone' personal programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
Here is a good place to start, with how things work in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" (and, other programmes as well):

is that an upload or a download?
(to Family Search - or from FamilySearch)?

Dennis, Thank you for willing to answer my question. I thought it will be easiest to load my family tree into the program, but now Brett has answered my question and I know that is not possible. Mind you, i still have to read through the help links. I will do that, in the morning. it is nearly 3am and I am a bit tired. I found Familysearch a great help. There is no way to to move whole Family Trees, is there? I have a read one with Ancestry, but for double checking familysearch is great.

that is why I am asking - are you talking about uploading into into FamilySearch
or downloading info from FS into a local program
for the latter - there are indeed various programs and options
