Because it's about importing into Legacy I reply on list: From: http://www.gencircles.com/globaltree/instructions#aoft
How do I export my data from Ancestry’s Online Family Tree? 1 Go to your Online Family Tree at Ancestry.com. 2 In the top right-hand corner of the screen that lists your trees, you may need to click Advanced Options. 3 If you don’t see Advanced Options, then you should see some little icons on the right next to the name of your tree. There will be an icon of a globe, a trash icon, and more. 4 You need to click on the icon that looks like a document. It’s the middle icon out possibly 5. It’s called Prepare for Export. 5 That icon will change into a rotating clock and your family tree will begin preparing for download. 6 A window may pop-up that says Preparing Online Family Tree for download... 7 This process can take a really long time. Please wait for it to finish. 8 You will know it is finished when the icon changes from a rotating clock to a half-document with an arrow pointing down. 9 Click that icon. 10 Click Save when you browser asks you what to do with the GEDCOM file. 11 Decide on a location to store your GEDCOM file so that you can easily retrieve it again. A reasonable place to store your file might be your Desktop or My Documents. You can access these by clicking on box next to Save in and scrolling all the way to the top. You will find both the Desktop and My Documents in that list.
