How to get your tree file from Ancestry, MyHeritage or your genealogy program ↓
Drawing the example…
A nine-year-old mother, a man who died before he was born: every big tree has a few of these, usually a mistyped year or two people merged into one.
Ancestors on this chart whose parents aren't in your tree. That's where the next search starts. We'll do it for you: one person, the old records searched one by one, $49, with a sample report here.

Getting your tree file
Ancestry
Go to Trees, then Create and manage trees, and choose Tree settings for your tree. Under Manage your tree, choose Export tree and confirm. When it's ready, choose Download your GEDCOM file. It arrives as a .zip, and you can open the zip here as it is. Only the tree's owner can export it.
MyHeritage
Open Family tree, then Manage trees, and choose Export to GEDCOM next to your tree. Choose whether to include photos, then Begin the export. MyHeritage emails you when the file is ready.
Desktop programs
Family Tree Maker and Legacy: File > Export. RootsMagic 9: Files > Export data > GEDCOM file. In other programs, look for Export GEDCOM. FamilySearch's shared tree can't be exported directly, but partner programs such as RootsMagic can sync with it and export.
Questions
Is my family tree file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser reads it and draws the chart on your own computer. Close the page and it's gone. If you order, only the finished chart drawing is sent to us, so we can print it.
What is a GEDCOM file?
GEDCOM (.ged) is the standard file format for family trees. Most genealogy sites and programs can export one; a few, such as FamilySearch, can't directly.
How many generations fit?
Up to seven: the person in the middle, their parents, grandparents, and out to their 4th great-grandparents, 127 people in all. Your father's side fills the left half, your mother's the right.
What about people who are still living?
Anyone who may be living (no death in the tree and born less than 100 years ago) is shown as “Living” with their surname and no dates. Tick the box above the chart to show their names and dates on your own chart.
What do the date checks look for?
Things that can't happen: someone dying before they were born, a mother under 12 or over 55 at a birth, a child born after their mother died, a life longer than 110 years. Dates marked “about”, “before” or “after” are left alone.
Can you find the people my tree is missing?
That's what we do. Tell us one ancestor and we search census rolls, draft cards, ship lists, vital records and old newspapers for them, then send a report of what we found, every fact tied to its record. How it works.
