The only way to update your Ancestry tree is if you have Family Tree Maker 2014 
and you do an import from a Legacy GEDCOM file.  If your Legacy data is more 
current than I would scrap the online tree then export to a GEDCOM from Legacy. 
If your data online is more current, then I would export from Ancestry then 
import into a new file in Legacy.  You could also do a merge within Legacy, but 
that is usually very time consuming in any genealogy software because of 
duplicate names.

 

I keep my Ancestry tree and Legacy data current so they match each other.  I've 
tried the FTM way and found FTM and Ancestry trees just were not compatible at 
all.

I was in the same boat... I finely resign to the fast that the only way around 
this was to delete the Ancestry tree, then upload a new tree from Legacy. With 
over 17,000 in my Legacy data base, all my work is done in Legacy. Then upload, 
via a Gedcom, once a year to Ancestry with a new tree. I don't think Ancestry 
has the capability to make a revision or addition by doing a Gedcom.

​ Let me know if there is a way of doing this.​
