Thanks Kevync1985,
The part to input FSID and # of ancestors/descendants is not clear please example…,
I have a descendent XXXX and find that this person have more descendants (parents, sons, etc.), can I just add them after XXXX, if so how…?
thanks.

you would obtain the Family search id (FS ID ) such as LRD3-XFV

that would be the starting person
if you are only concerned about descendants you could enter 99
I have not used that way so I can not speak. I tried a few years back with FTM. I do not want garbage in my tree and only add manually one by one.

In RootsMagic, turn on the FSID (Settings>General Settings>Number to Display)
