	Go to your home page on Ancestry. Click on ‘Help’ along the top line. Type in ‘Download GEDCOM’ in the Keyword box. A list appears. The 3rd listed is How to download your personal member family tree If that doesn’t help, then give them a ring on their help line. 0800 404 9723 Once it is saved on your computer, you can then upload it to GR, but I suspect the census details and of course photos would be lost. Never tried it myself so not too sure how it would look.
