I have my tree on Ancestry, Genes and Tribal Pages with over 4000 names in it,

They have been created this way for three reasons. Firstly, when you send a

be missing, so I would rather have n

You should be able to download from your Ancestry.com tree to a GEDCOM.
While I've never first posted to Ancestry.com trees then downloaded to a

Jerry,
You need to read Ancestry's terms and conditions, which are not hidden away,
on their site. When uploading you agree to them, so they do nothing without
the user's consent.
Whether they should, or should not, accept ownership is a different
question, and this is a Legacy User Group no
That's why I prefer to not use any information obtained online. It's good

You don't say which Ancestry records you are linking to. Are they
official records like census, or are they submitted trees?
