    .

    Question:

    .

    Have you looked in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' to 'see' if any of your "Ancestral" lines are ALREADY in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    There may be, NO need, for you to 'bring' over many of those in your 'Tree' in "Ancestry_com".

    .

    Many of the individuals/persons most probably ALREADY exist in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

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

    .

    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.

    .

    And ...

    .

    Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons DO NOT understand the basic nature and premise of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.

    .

    Furthermore ...

    .

    We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), 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 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).

    .

    We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.

    .

    We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons 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'. 

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .
