How do I transfer my tree from ancestry to family search

One way to do that is to create a GED COM from Ancestry. The directions to do that are on Ancestry.

• This is a special safeguard to ensure the privacy of living people. The article found at https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-copy-information-from-my-gedcom-file-into-family-tree

Contains this statement:"Our processes scan your file to identify people in your tree who may still be living. They will not be published in the Pedigree Resource File."

If there is a problem with the link, you can find this information by clicking on the question mark in the circle at the top of this page or any page in Familysearch.org and typing copy GEDCOM into the Search box.

@MRomboli . Your question seems to have been lost here....... it would have been better to have asked a separate question in the Community.

Please see knowledge article;

https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-upload-my-gedcom-file

which contains this statement

"Our processes scan your file to identify people in your tree who could still be living. These records do not display in the Pedigree Resource File" (this is the area your information is initially stored when you use a Gedcom to transfer information to FamilySearch. There is a further process to copy information to Family Tree itself....

https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-copy-information-from-my-gedcom-file-into-family-tree

which states....

• Invalid and Living. ,,,,, You cannot add these people to Family Tree.

You will have to enter any living individuals manually into Family Tree.

Hope this Helps.
