   When I said Download it did not mean to download the gedcom, but to   
   download the tree into the genealogy program directly. again Family Tree   
   Maker and Roots Magic both can do that.  ie an enormous sync.   
      
   I do the same as Ruth does, only use Family Tree Maker as my primary   
   genealogy program.  ALL of the documents impacting my tree are saved on   
   my computer as PDF files.   My online tree has not been updated, since   
   September. While it has caught many DNA matches, I believe only one or   
   two actually extended my tree. the rest of the matches only confirmed   
   what I already knew from the documentation.
