It sounds like you want to take advantage of the fact that FamilySearch/Family Tree is free. That's correct... it is free to all users. However, FamilySearch FamilyTree is different to many other sites that host private trees..... FamilySearch Family Tree is a COMMUNAL/SHARED tree where all users use/see the same data. It is important that you understand that it is a different model to what you were using on Ancestry. There are many benefits from working with others in a communal work space, but be aware that it is 'open edit' and changes can be made by others. Many people miss this fact. Some people choose to have a private tree somewhere like Ancestry alongside working in the shared FamilySearch Tree.
