Is it possible to get the complete direct ancestor gedcom?

Question

The gedcom system is great. And WikiTree is awesome. My gedcom cuts off after 15 generations or so, just like it says that it will. It would be amazing if I could just get the complete direct ancestor gedcom going all the way. Is this possible?

Answer 1

To what end, Jeffrey?  Going that far back, wouldn't it be better to review the information ancestor by ancestor, rather than simply rely on others?

Update:  It looks to me like you can choose an ancestor, and not just yourself, for the gedcom download.  So if you don't have too many lines going back that far, it should work to select ancestors in the lines you want to go further back in, and then download their gedcoms.  (Please tell me if that works so I'll know for next time.)

The first two questions seem to be answered by the very purpose that WikiTree was created for.

As to the update, exactly. I will have to download dozens of gedcoms. That's why it would be inconvenient.

How optimistic!  It would be wonderful if WikiTree was a fully complete and accurate one-world tree, but that's not the reality.

I can't tell if Julie is replying to me or if there is a different part of the conversation that she is having with someone else that I can't see.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a G2G thread that is partly hidden from some of its participants.  What I meant was that it is optimistic of you to imagine that you could download multiple lines of your ancestry of more than 15 generations with an expectation that they would be accurate.
