I noticed that you're working on pre-1700-era profiles. This is just a reminder that certifying to work on these types of profiles means that you agree to add valid sources as outlined in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz.
"Family Search" is not a sufficient source. Fundamentally, a good source citation enables others to: (1) judge the accuracy of the information found on the profile, and (2) independently verify the information by finding the source themselves. Once you've found a good source on Family Search, they provide a source citation that you can copy and paste onto the WikiTree profile, which will allow others to find the same sources you found. More information on sources can be found at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources
Also, it looks like you are creating profiles for people who lived in England, and the England Project has excellent help pages on sources such as: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources
If you need help with any of this, our G2G Forum is a great place to start. You can get there by clicking the link on the Help menu.
Thanks!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Congrats on being a Family Member of WikiTree!
I'm a volunteer greeter, here to answer your questions about WikiTree.
Our Member How-To pages can help you get started adding profiles or just learning your way around.
As regards your question about transferring a tree from 1 site to another, it is done via a GEDCOM file. I will add another post here with some relevant links to help you.
Welcome to the community!

I'm sorry, there's no easy answer to this one. I had forgotten that Family Search does not have a GEDCOM download capability. You could have a look in our G2G forum to see what other people recommend.
Here is 1 discussion on this topic from the G2G forum, as a starting point for you. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/646608/how-can-upload-family-search-tree-to-wikitree-thanks-flytye
Hope this helps.
