Already have a family tree on Ancestry.com? Export it as a standard GEDCOM file and bring it into Clangram in a few minutes. Your existing subscriptions and data on Ancestry aren't affected — Clangram runs alongside as a simpler shared home for the rest of the family.
1Sign in at ancestry.com and open the family tree you want to move.
2Click the tree name in the top-left corner, then choose Tree Settings from the dropdown.
3On the Tree Settings page, scroll to Manage your tree on the right and click Export tree.
4Ancestry prepares a GEDCOM file. When the Download your GEDCOM file button appears, click it to save the .ged to your computer.
Heads up
• Ancestry's GEDCOM export does not include attached photos or media — Clangram will import every person, relationship, and date, but you'll need to re-upload photos inside Clangram.
• If you use Ancestry Pro Tools, you get richer exports — but the standard GEDCOM covers everything Clangram uses.
Bring the tree into Clangram
ASign up for a Clangram account and create a new (empty) family.
BGo to Settings → Import and pick Choose file to import. Select the .ged you exported from Ancestry.
CClangram parses the file and creates every person and relationship. You'll land on an interactive tree view with birthdays, map, and all.

• Simple enough for grandma. No research-grade jargon, just a clean tree + birthday view + world map.
