Josie,
I wrote notes on how I do it on the Facebook page on 26 March. Here they
are minus the pictures. I only upload basic information and associated
sources and remove the living. I only have one working file and in it I
have all sorts of projects so I only upload a connected tree.
Also note that gedcoms can only include the media path and filename so
you can't transfer media to Ancestry via gedcom. You have to do them one
at a time.
I'm contemplating putting up a smaller permanent tree and adding some
photos to it as I upload a new tree periodically and delete the old.
How I make a file to upload to Ancestry.
#LegacyFamilyTreeTips
I've just updated my Ancestry tree so thought I'd share how I do it. I
take a number of steps as I don't upload "everything". In a couple of
weeks when the Ancestry indexer has got around to including my new tree,
I'll delete the older one.
For those who include pictures etc, this is not a viable option. One day
I might upload a much smaller permanent tree and add some pictures and
more details to it.
Because my family file has a lot of unlinked groups and individuals and
because I don't want to upload living people at all, I go through
several steps.
If you are happy to upload everyone and rely on Ancestry privacy, you
can skip steps 2 to 8.
1. Tools - Advanced Set Living - to mark people as dead if they've been
left as living. I do this for two reasons.
a) I leave out the living when I upload.
b) I hate trees that include "living" people from the 18th century. I
wouldn't have that as I don't upload the living but would have some
strange gaps.
2. Make sure you have a free tag for the next step. (I usually have a
tag set for "Connected" and clear this and re-use it. I clear it as I
may have unlinked someone whom I thought previously was part of a family
but discovered since they weren't.)
3. View - Trees - Refresh (If this doesn't count trees as you open it,
it needs to be refreshed.)
4. Tag everyone in the main tree (Entire tree of highlighted individual)
3. Export that tag group to a Legacy file choosing in the Privacy
options to omit the living. Note I am also omitting private notes,
events, people at this point.
5. I could have gone straight to gedcom but there are some in-law lines
I've followed that I don't include in my upload.
6. In the new tree clear all tags for everyone.
7. View - Trees and tag the trees you want included on the same tag.
(You've now got a file with a number of trees because you've omitted the
living links. I also omit isolated individuals at this point. These
include deceased spouses and children of living people not otherwise
linked to the tree.)
8. You may want to untag very recently deceased.
9. Export to Gedcom (File - Export - Gedcom)
a) Record selection - tagged individuals.
b) Customise - it's at this point you can choose to leave out Research
notes, To-Dos and any other items you don't want to share.
I only upload the Basic set plus Sources. You can do this by choosing
Basic on the main export screen before clicking Customise button and
then on the Customise screen from the Items to add box, add the SOUR and
PAGE tags.
c) on the main export screen, choose to make formatting web friendly;
omit general To-Dos if you haven't already; decide whether you want to
override the source options (if you don't, it just includes what you've
chosen to print) and I choose Show double dates.
When in doubt about an option, leave the default.
d) Click the Select File Name and START EXPORT button.
10. Upload the resulting file to Ancestry.
11. Choose a name for your tree and write the Tree Description/Overview
12. Check the settings and set a Home person. (I do add myself with
simply Living as name and no other detail - and was amused that I was
almost immediately given 3 hints to add to me - one from the US and two
from England. grin emoticon )
Here is my Gedcom export screen.

Hi Josie,
I was a bit simplistic.
The Gedcom export doesn't include any media - You need to do that
manually :-( .
Personally I just export the tree itself and don't include any media
as it takes too much effort.
On the basis of the above you need to make sure that you don't import
your Gedcom over an existing tree with media or you will loose it.
There does not appear to be any way to import which merges your data.

Hi Geoff,
You or somebody tell me how to make a GEDCOM file from my Legacy 8
Tree and upload it to Ancestry??
I been looking and I swear I can't find anything SPECIFICALLY written
on this process in either Ancestry or Legacy.
Just lots of "general" stuff about Gedcoms
I also hope somebody can enlighten me on exactly what all "goes" on
Ancestry when I move my current tree over.
Pictures? Source documents? Private info ?
I appreciate your help.
