By submitting your GEDCOM file to the Ancestry World Tree, you agree to the following:

  • Ancestry.com may reproduce, compile, and freely distribute, all information about non-living individuals in your submitted GEDCOM file.
  • Ancestry.com will remove all information about living individuals except the name prior to reproducing, compiling, and freely distributing your submitted GEDCOM file. We will use the inclusion of a death date as a rule of thumb, which in our belief excludes the living if a date of death is not included on any particular record.

  • You agree that submitting your GEDCOM file to the Ancestry World Tree does not entitle you to any compensation, monetary or other.
