Upload a Family Tree

When you upload a family tree file, all of the people in it are placed into a new tree. The name you choose to give your tree will be visible to your guests and to members of Ancestry.ca and other sites owned by Ancestry.com. How do I upload my tree?


Choose file	Find the family tree file on your computer. Maximum file size is 75MB.
Tree Name	Give your new tree a name
		Allow others to see my tree as a public member tree
		What does this mean?
	What does this mean? By allowing others to see your tree in the Public Member Trees section of the Ancestry.com sites, you help them discover missing links in their own family trees. By default, other members can contact you anonymously about your tree (without seeing your email address). You can later change this setting in the My Account area of the site. OneWorldTree essentially merges information from various family trees into one big family tree that can save you a lot of time with your research. By comparing all of the information from many family trees at once, rather than reviewing them one-by-one, you can determine which information is most reliable. When you allow others to view your family tree information, you open the door to finding other members of Ancestry.com sites who have dates, names and other information missing from your tree. We'll also let you know when we find members conducting similar research, so you can compare notes, ask questions and get answers. Information about living individuals will never be shown to others without your explicit permission. Additionally, you can choose to remove your tree information from the Public Member Trees section at any time. And remember, just because other members can see your tree information, they still can't make any edits to it. Only you can do that. What if I don't make my tree public? When you choose not to share your tree, you potentially miss out on opportunities to collaborate with other members and grow your tree. Even if you don't share your tree, other members can still learn if a specific deceased individual is in your tree, in addition to the birth year and birthplace of the person and your username (but no personal information about you). They can then contact you anonymously through the Connection Service on Ancestry.com sites to request more information. Keep in mind that members who want to learn from your tree may also have helpful information about your tree to offer you in exchange.
