Russ, With the Ancestery Help, I learned what a GEDCOM file is and through many questions and answers got the information on how to make a GEDCOM file of the Ancestery Family Tree then I got bogged down because the Tools at my Family Tree site does not show an "Export GEDCOM". My choices are "View Tree" and "Manage Tree", neither of these leads to an "Export GEDCOM". Any advice? marilyn
