I just found FamilySearch Tree

Glen P Baker

It would be nice to know when something is added, and a little bit about it.

I see that they are GEDCom trees and one is mine. But if the new MyHeritage (had to find that too) is there it is not. Is that correct.

@Glen P Baker the most important thing to note is that the main FamilySearch Family Tree is a single global collaborative Tree where any user can add or edit any deceased person.

You can 'watch' aka 'follow' any person in the Tree so that you are notified of changes.

While gedcom files have been used to populate the main Family Tree in the past, that was a high risk activity because it caused many duplicates. It is possible to download a gedcom of your part of the Tree, but only via the third party solutions that link to the Tree (see the Solutions Gallery https://www.familysearch.org/en/innovate/solutions-gallery/).

If you want your own separate Tree over which you have full control, however, there is a new User Tree facility, previously called CETs (https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/the-new-gedcom-upload-experience). If you create one of these, it can be populated initially from a gedcom file. Data for an individual person can be copied from a User Tree to the main Tree, but they are otherwise completely separate.

As I understand it, the FamilySearch user interface allows you to search for historical records held in MyHeritage, and to attach them to people in the main FS Family Tree, and it can even flag up relevant hints, but it doesn't do anything directly with users' MyHeritage family trees. The third party solutions I mentioned above, however, can link to both FS and MyHeritage trees, and therefore allow you to transfer information between the two, one person at a time.

If this doesn't help, you may find https://www.familysearch.org/en/gettingstarted/ useful, otherwise please post again.

Thanks for answering.
