Level 5* gazumped 7,720 Posted January 26, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi. So what sorts of format are 'acceptable for uploading' to Ancestry.com? I'm assuming you could cut/copy and paste information from a note to an Ancestry screen. A quick Google search suggests that some other genealogy software can export family trees in a format that Ancestry can import, but Evernote isn't able to do that directly. As Evernote is built around a database and publishes its API, a developer might be able to write a conversion utility; otherwise if you're a MAC user and able to write scripts, you may be able to automate some transfer of data, and in Windows you could use a third-party macro app like Phrase Express 1 Link to post

Cut and paste, or export your notes in html format to make the data available 1 Link to post
scottie45 0 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks for the input. Seems that the least difficult way of doing this is to simply save as a .png image and then import it into the relevant spot in Genealogy.com Link to post
