    Keep in mind FamilySearch is not a system where each person has their own unique database - rather we work collaboratively on a single database that we all share of billions of records. Chances are most of your ancestors are probably already in FamilySearch Family Tree - you just need to connect the links between you and your most recent deceased ancestors within the system.

    Have you searched for your deceased ancestors in Family Search Family Tree - to see if they are already in the system? can you provide some names of a few of your most recent deceased ancestors - such as a grandparent etc. - so we can point you at their location in the database?

    You can ...

    .

    But, please do not ...

    .

    In MOST instances there is NO need to load a "Pedigree" (ie. "Tree") from any, "Third Party" Website (eg. "Family Tree Maker"; or, "Ancestry_com"; and/or, the like and the like); and/or, 'Standalone' Computer programme (eg. PAF, Ancestral Quest, etc), into "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    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.

    .

    Only one or two generations of the "Living" individuals/persons (and, perhaps, some of the "Deceased" individuals/persons) may be required to be entered/input in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; before, some of the "Deceased" individuals/persons from Ancestral lines ALREADY existing in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", are discovered. 

    .

    In the past, MANY well established and documented (eg. "Sourced") individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" have been RUINED by the upload of the (undocumented and unsourced) "Pedigrees" (ie. "Trees") from "Third Party" Website (eg. "Family Tree Maker"; or, "Ancestry_com"; and/or, the like and the like); and/or, 'Standalone' Computer programme (eg. PAF, Ancestral Quest, etc).

    .

    Many NEW Users/Patrons DO NOT even take the time to look to see if any of the individuals/persons in their, "Third Party" Website (eg. "Family Tree Maker"; or, "Ancestry_com"; and/or, the like and the like); and/or, 'Standalone' Computer programme (eg. PAF, Ancestral Quest, etc), are ALREADY in "Family Tree", in MOST instances, negating the need to even upload those individuals/persons.

    .

    Just my thoughts.

    .
