I created a tree with one person in it after seeing your question
here. I don't see any option for downloading or exporting the
tree. I will say it was kind of nifty the way I could attach any of
their sources to the individual. Once I entered his information, I
saw the little green leaf indicated that there was some detail on
him. Sure enough, I clicked on the leaf and saw 4 of the censuses
that he was in, his WW1 registration card, his death record from the
state of Ohio,and the SS death record. It would be reallllly nice if
you could retrieve all that information. I have lots of items in my
"shoebox" at ancestry and I like that feature. Shows me clearly what
I have done already and what I have found there.

Is there an urgency to your desire to collect the information? I
would not be surprised if Ancestry upgrades the Tree program to allow
downloads of gedcoms in the future.
