Then how do I get my data from online to another genealogy program? Putting it simply you need to export your Ancestry file. Do I have to start again from scratch? No. What will happen to all my data on Ancestry? This stays online (unless you choose to delete it of course), but depending on what privacy settings and subscription you have, as to who (including yourself) can view and access it. One that isn’t necessarily connected to the internet.

One they can install on their own computer. While many are happy to have their tree there, others seem to want to change and choose to have a physical genealogy program. And in doing so, start creating their family tree online.

There’s no doubt that many people when starting their family history, head to Ancestry.
