You are probably asking about transferring a gedcom file

You can do this using the WikiTree Sourcer browser extension. It has features to save the profile data from an Ancestry profile and use that to create a new profile on WikiTree. You can then go through the sources and use Sourcer to create citations for them to put on your WT profile.

This is described in the user guide and also demonstrated in the intro video.

I use Sourcer all the time, just as you describe. I didnʻt think of that!

Thank you . Most appreciated.  Bruce
