My recommendation would be to upload no more than 50 people at a time   My other recommendation would be to just add them manually, and use Wikitree X, a Chrome app, to take the agony out of adding them and sources to Wikitree.

Hi Gary,

This process is what we refer to as creating a gedcom. On My heritage you can find out about that process here: My heritage help page Than on wikitree you can than find out about registering an account on WikiTree and than you will learn about the process required to upload a GEDCOM

Have a great day!

Yes.  There is a way to import information without having to re-enter it manually.  

You would first need to export a GEDCOM file from MyHeritage.com; then, import the GEDCOM to Wikitree.

Note: There are some limitations (for good reason) on how large a GEDCOM can be imported into WikiTree, so my suggestion would be start with a small GEDCOM to familiarize yourself with the WikiTree GEDCOM process.
