The owner of the online tree only has the options of downloading to FTM or a GEDCOM file. The GEDCOM you can download directly from within your tree. If you want all the images, you'll have to purchase a copy of FTM for that. Once the images are saved locally to your hard drive you should be able to export to a GEDCOM and save the image paths. I know this works from Legacy to FTM because I do it all the time, but from FTM to Legacy I'm not sure. I'll have to try it sometime. I only use FTM to find records at Ancestry because Legacy is a better program.

I was just about to download all that info. Yuck...

Regardless of which program you use, you will only be able to import a GEDCOM from Ancestry.

I have been using RootsMagic for 10 years. I want to import my Ancestry tree to my computer with the photos and copies of the documents that I have attached to my people. Is that possible with Legacy? I have read most of the info but nothing is mentioned about Ancestry ...just FamilyTree and familysearch. Can someone give some advice. I am in the market for a product that will do this and since Legacy is #1 I would hope it would do this. I have also thought about another product as well. Thanking you in advance.
