I’m assuming that notes from Ancestry get downloaded into the Gedcom file (at least I see them when I import into another software I have). But how to I access them in RootsMagic and is there a way to include them in a report that has a pedigree chart. Also, I know that media files don’t get downloaded (photos, imported gallery files, etc.) However, if there are weblink under the “facts” is there a way to have the URLs show up in a printout? Thanks in advance! ---

Use TreeShare in RM to download your Ancestry tree with media, notes, etc. It’s better to use TreeShare since it will link Ancesty tree & RM, while gedcom doesn’t. If you have a census image on Ancestry, it will be connected to the Citation when downloaded. Watch the video on RM website to see how it works. ---

Thank you! I will check this out. ---

Ok, so I managed to do TreeShare, which was great. But how do I get the Notes to appear in a report? And which types of reports will include them? My goal is to print a basic summary with pedigree chart and include the notes that I have for the various people. In a perfect world that would include the media, but I won’t be that ambitious! ---

The Pedigree Chart won’t include notes. The individual summary would give you everything on a person including notes. The narrative report would be another option too. ---

Thank you for this! I did figure out I could print a report of “Everyone” in the tree with that. Do you know if there’s a way, or a type of report that will include URLs that are listed under Ancestry “sources”? ---

Depends on where the URL was added. If its part of the footnote it will appear there. If its a WebTag added to the source/citation it won’t show on the footnote. You could run a WebTag list for just sources or citations to see them. ---

Thanks. Please forgive my ignorance, but where would the footnote be on Ancestry where I would put a URL? I see the web link option for source citation (where I did not put the links). But I was referring to the “Add Web Link” option under sources on the Ancestry profile pages. I’m guessing “run a Web Tag” list" is an option in RM9 then…? ---

Added from Ancestry the “Add Web Link” option URL under sources becomes a Citation WebTag in RM. You would find it under “Citation Detail text, media, etc.”.
