	Download the gedcom to your desk top and then just double click on the tree. It will open itself into Family Tree. If you already have a tree and you want to combine the new one with the old use the 'Merge' under File. Make sure you make a duplicate copy of the original file in case you don't like the merged file. I download the IGI gedcoms all the time and never have a problem.
