Don’t shoot me, but I just leave them on Ancestry. I suppose I’ll download the GedCOMS at some point, but Ancestry’s where I made them, and they are still there.
Now that said, my journey through genealogy was most intense over a two year period where I did 23andme ten years ago, as an adopted person from the era of closed files, to find out what little genetic health info I could. I saw enough cousins to think it might be possible to reverse engineer my biological family tree. I have SOOOO many dead-end trees with other people’s relatives on them, and if they’re not perfect, they’re at least better than average for Ancestry, (low bar, LOL). I eventually did find my birth family, and it’s been overall a good thing, though with the inevitable ups and downs.
These days, it’s just sort of one more thing I know more about than the average person, though I do enjoy old records and stories.
