I noticed this problem two years ago... the only solution I can think of is if you have Family Tree Maker on your computer, you can merge the information in FTM and then replace the file online. But then you have the issue of sources... I also noticed this sourcing problem in the past.... this is why I keep a public tree online, use ancestry to look up information, but keep my file on my system at home with all of my data and sources on it... backing it up weekly or as I need to by either…

This is a frustrating problem. I continually work on my data and update almost weekly. I wanted to share the information I had with others searching for the same family lines. I found the same thing you said to be true. You cannot update the file once it is uploaded unless you do it by hand..yuk. I ended up changing the newer file to a different name and uploading it. This means I have two family files on Ancestry. I was hesitant to delete the older file..but I may do so anyway as it it…

I wrote to Ancestry to see if there was a way to merge trees. I use my file at home on my computer all the time, and I really don't want to sit & add everything to the Ancestry online tree after I already added it to my file at home. I was told that the only ways to update the online tree was to sit & manually add the new info to your file OR delete the old tree & re-upload a new one. The only problem with deleting is that you lose all of the linked records.
