* Merging Ancestry tree into my FH tree

[Bohemani]

I created my tree in FH and copied the GEDCOM file over to create an Ancestry.co.uk tree so as to take advantage of hints etc. I now have numerous in my Ancestry tree which I don't have in my FH tree. Can I merge these in FH to make one master tree?
Many thanks

Thank you, Jane. Fortunately there isn't a huge amount of data to be moved and so I think I'll use FH from now on and then download to Ancestry.

Yes, that is the recommended tactic.
I suggest you use the Export Gedcom File Plugin and choose the (ANC) Ancestry option to upload to Ancestry.

Great. Many thanks for your help.

Remember though that every time you create an updated import to Ancestry, it regards it as a new tree, so all your old hints come back again. To avoid this, you have to either keep Ancestry updated in parallel (a pain) or explore the rather convoluted options of merging records via RootsMagic. Unfortunately there is no easy option for keeping FH and Ancestry synchronised automatically.

Thanks, Mark

The answer might be to make an entry in FH and then immediately repeat it in Ancestry. This doesn't happen too often so it shouldn't take ages to do. I'll just have to remember to do it religiously each time!
