Question:
.
Are you enquiring if you can, simply access your entire "Pedigree", in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
Short Answer:
.
When you sign into 'FamilySearch' from the "Home"/"Landing" page/screen, your "Ancestral" Lines (ie. "Pedigree") can be found, on the TOP Line Menu, under the FIRST 'Tab' of "Family Tree"; and, the SECOND Option down being "Tree".
.
Pictorially ...
.
.
That is one way to access your "Ancestral" Lines (ie. "Pedigree").
.
Plus ...
Just in case ...
.
FYI
.
There is NO option in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' to "Print" (or, even "Download"), your ENTIRE "Ancestral" Lines.
.
The "Printing", in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', is LIMITED to, the "Printing" of, either, a "Family Group Sheet"; and/or, a x4 Generation, "Pedigree Chart", for AN individual/person, that is all.
.
There is NO option to "Download", ANY of your; and/or, your ENTIRE, "Ancestral" Lines, from "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
But ...
That said ...
.
There are alternatives ...
.
The best option for "Printing" your "Ancestral" Lines from "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is to use one of the "Third Party" Applications (being one of the "Family Tree Management" programmes) that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
The "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
Here is a direct link to the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':
https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/
.
And, here is the direct link to the "Family Tree Management programmes" themselves:
https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=family_tree_management
.
"Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' include, BOTH, 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes ("Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).
.
Some of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' have, BOTH, a Basic FREE version; and/or, a Premium PIAD (ie. "Subscription") version, the latter just having more 'Bells and Whistles'. The Basic FREE version is sufficient for most, the average, User/Patron. Whereas, the Premium PAID (ie. "Subscription") version is the choice of most experienced and 'power' Users/Patrons.
.
You can use ONE or MORE than one, of the the "Third Party" Applications, the choice is yours.
.
Most of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that are "Family Tree Management programmes, have INTERFACES that work/connect (directly) with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that can, "Download"; and, "Upload" (ie. "Transfer) between the "Third Party" Application and "Family Tree".
.
As well as the "Family Tree Management programmes", there are also "Printing" and "Chart" programmes ...
.
And, here is the direct link to the "Chart" programmes" themselves:

I hope this helps.

Enjoy.
.
Now ...
That said ...
.
Furthermore ...
.
As an aside ...
.
Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons DO NOT understand the basic nature and premise of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.
.
Please let me explain ...
.
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'.
.
And, in fact, we do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, our OWN "Deceased" Ancestors in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
We can certainly "Watch"/"Follow" them in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; and, address/fix any 'wayward' alterations; but, that is it.
.
"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.
.
Just to clarify "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
