    If you are talking about "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; then, ...

    .

    Short Answer: You cannot.

    .

    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".

    .

    Now ...

    That said ...

    .

    For what you want, you could physically "Print" the various (ie. many) individual "Pedigree" Charts; and, "Family Goup" Sheets; but, that is a long, tedious; and, ultimately, expensive, process - unless you create PDFs (ie. Digital Documents).

    Everyone can edit records for deceased persons . . .

    you, me and a million other users.

    this system is a collaborative database that we all share.

    There is no "ownership" as you allude to.
