You didn't make it clear it was your own tree initially. Many of the Ancestry trees contain errors. I found one where my 3x great uncle was attached to the wrong parents, the wrong wife and the wrong birth place. When I asked about this, the person who'd put the tree up didn't both correcting it, checking out what I had but simply made the tree private. The same 3x great uncle was on another tree with three different wives, three different birth places in three different counties and three different occupations - none of it correct. Again, the person who put the tree up not only wouldn't accept their own research was wonky, but that it was nothing to do with my 3x great uncle. Am I right about my 3xgreat uncle? Three cousins independent of each other and me all went back to the same place, one of them a direct descendent of my 3x great uncle :)) > Anyway, Ancestry is only letting me download as a gedcom. How do I > download with an .fdb? You can't download an .fdb because ANcestry isn't the same as Legacy. Download the gedcom (ged) then import it into Legacy and save it. You'll then have your .fdb. Click on File, go down to Import and it gives you the option to import a ged. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
