A GEDCOM (Genealogical Data Communication) file is a text file with basic information about people in a family tree. It can be created (exported) from an existing family tree, and then imported to a new tree to populate that tree.
If you have a GEDCOM file (a collection of ancestor information created with a software program), you can copy its data to your Ancestry tree.
If you have family tree data in your FamilySearch account, you can import four generations of it (starting with your name) to your Ancestry tree.
If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can create a free account on Ancestry.
With a Church of Jesus Christ-Ancestry account, you can sync the updates you make to your Ancestry tree into your part of the FamilySearch tree.
