I need a direct ancestry only GEDCOM file to submit to GEDmatch with my DNA. Does anyone know how I can do this in FS?

    To download a GEDCOM from FamilySearch, you will need third-party tree management software. Several that can handle the task are listed in the Solutions Gallery. https://www.familysearch.org/en/innovate/solutions-gallery/

    thanks for your help. I realized afterwards, though, that GEDmatch allows one to connect to their FS account and use the info directly, without needing a 3rd party software. I was very pleasantly surprised by how many additional DNA matches I made after uploading tree to GEDmatch and then connecting my GEDmatch account to WikiTree.
