You should save every single record you attach to your tree on Ancestry and any record you want to view later that you have not attached. Once you do that you should move it to a folder on your computer for these files specifically. You will now need to find the file and rename it something you will recognize later, since the file name is usually a string of numbers. After you select this option Ancestry will likely just download the file to your default download location (usually your ‘downloads’ folder or your desktop). There are several options, one of them says ‘Save to Your Computer’ – this is what you want.ģ. Now look for the green ‘Save’ button and click on that. When viewing the record’s landing page, as seen in the first screen capture above, click on the image to view it.Ģ.

Here’s how to download the records so you’ll have access to them later.ġ. The first thing to know is that you can download records to your own computer for safe keeping.
We respect that Ancestry has to support their site by limiting access to records, but we wish this fact was clearer to subscribers. But it can be surprisingly easy to overlook this fact and be left wondering why you no longer have access to a record you saved to your tree. If you have been using Ancestry for awhile you may already be aware of this and have taken actions to secure these documents. You can read Ancestry’s statement about what happens when you cancel a subscription here. This is true even if you currently have a paid subscription that doesn’t cover the record you want to view (such as having a US only subscription when trying to view a record from England). If you stop subscribing to records on Ancestry, or access records during the a trial subscription and then don’t subscribe, you will no longer have access to these records if they were in a paid database - which most are. If you decide you want to download your tree as a gedcom and import the data into another family tree program (other than Family Tree Maker) you will not have any copies of these files.Ģ.
