The word, "copy" may not have been the best choice. What I want to
accomplish is to have all of the sources, Discussions and Notes in
FamilySearch also in Legacy and Ancestry without having to spend a great
deal of time keying everything in again. Another concern I have is
updating my Ancestry file. There may be a better way, but all I know to
do is import my FamilySearch tree into Legacy, create a new gedcom file
and upload it to Ancestry. Then I am faced with keying in all those
sources, Discussions and Notes again. Unless there is a better way to
do this, I am required to key everything in again even if all I am doing
is editing information on one individual. I am finding so much
ludicrous information in FamilySearch (people born before their parents,
etc.) that I spend half my time correcting errors. Is there a way to
update a few individuals in Ancestry without keying everything in again?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

do you really want to copy the sources back and forth? Legacy,
Ancestry and FamilySearch all have different ways of writing their
sources. If you copy them from one to the other, the formatting
won't match. I'd rather have a way to match up the sources from one
to another, that is, in LegacyFamilySearch mode I could mark sources
that show in FamilySearch Family Tree as the same as a particular
source in Legacy So I am able to confirm that I have all the sources
in both places, but not necessarily copied from one to the other.

Any transfer of data between Ancestry and Legacy must be keyed in.
There is no way to do a direct transfer either way.
That's all up to Ancestry - they need to release an API to Legacy in
order for the programmers to make the connection.
