Importing of GEDCOM files from Ancestry

I have a RICH set of mostly error-free records of many branches and bushes of my family tree. I imported thousands of records yesterday. How long does it take them to appear?

I instantly found an error with one of my Paternal Aunts! Kind of ridiculous.

I'm sending notes to those who have "touched" those records that I am the keeper.

    Hi There have been recent changes to uploading a GEDCOM file and how it is used in Family Search. You ask the question of how long it will take to appear and I assume you mean in the public Family Tree. GEDCOM files are no longer moved over to the public Family Tree. Rather your own private tree is created where you can use all the family search tools and sources and invite others to participate with you. We also expect there will be additional capabilities in the future. Here is an article explaining the new GEDCOM process. Please feel free to respond back with any questions or comments.
