most if not all family tree programs have an export/import gedcom 'button' on genes reunited as alan said go to the bottom of this page and click on import/export gedcom, the next screen choose export and wait a short while, the gedcom file which is only a small file will be sent to your email address that you have registered with genes reunited.
you can then use this file as you would others i.e. save it, copy it, to do basic things with it you need to import it into your family tree viewer of which there are many, advice about them is given all over these message boards.
back to my original advice JUST KEEP A COPY OF YOUR GEDCOM SAFE update it by saving a copy as you do more work and feel that you have done enough to worry about losing it???????
hope this helps

I just tried this, and, yes, indeed it went back to Import/Export .... but it did say in the top line Tree Status: Awaiting Export


It is supposed to be sent to my email address, so I guess I wait and see how long it takes!

At the bottom of the page is a green bar and within the sections is a panel that shows "import/export" ..............click on that and follow instructions.
Actually, the file will be sent with an e-mail attachment. Download the file into "My documents". You can then put the Gedcom into whatever family tree programme you want to.

Once again I have seen a post from a panicking person who cannot access their tree online for whatever reason.
We all put in a lot of hard work on our trees so take this advice whether your tree is big or small.

Download a GEDCOM of your tree and store it away from your computer.

you can update as needed.
