download and save them to your computer, make a folder and call it Family History and then make a sub folder with the family name to save the image or Census to that particular family ...to give you an idea this is how I do it https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/1062526347.jpg crab2 - 2019-06-09 18:44:00 |
| 5 | oh and back up to a USB stick or external hard drive crab2 - 2019-06-10 07:44:00 |
| 6 | Don't ever use a USB stick as storage for anything that matters. They are unreliable. Make relevant folders on your PC to separate your Tree data into logical areas, download each Tree's GEDCOM to your hard drive if you have more than one. It's only a text file so won't save any documents just data, so download every image or document for each person from the link Ancestry gave you and also any others you have saved from other trees and hints, print transcripts to pdf (install a free pdf printer if you don't already have one, Google will help you find one). Then use a combination of storage media to back up your data, burn to a CD or DVD (make multiple copies and send at least one to live with someone else for safe keeping), copy to an external hard drive and also upload to a Cloud based storage area.
