I have a lot more info on my Ancestry tree ie census, copied strate from the site and saurce of records and so on. If I download a Gedcom will all that info download with it? or will I loose it and have to add it all manually to my FH programm,? I have always done it the opposite way before but recently being doing a lot of tidying up on Ancestry and adding more info.

Which FH program are you using?

You won't be able to transfer any attached documents, census images, photos etc but anything you have recorded into notes, sources should transfer ok.

Try it and see, you have nothing to loose as your Ancestry Tree will remain as it is but do save your current FH data somewhere safe first and start a fresh tree with the Ancestry gedcom. This way you can go back if anything goes wrong.

Hi Inspector.
Thank you, I knew my pictures wouldn't travel,It's just a shame to loose all the census records, however like you say, there's nothing to loose long as I save my data from my FH programm, It's Legacy 7.4 updated it at the end of last year.
