Mackiev has promised their new version FTM2017 will improve the syncing function and add an interface with. My experience with FTM14.1 which is currently available is satisfactory, but interfaces with only. I like the additional control RM gives me, but it does take more time to make the comparison. RM Teeshare allows you to have additional people in your RM tree and be different from your Ancestry tree. FTM Treesync allows Ancestry and FTM trees to be the same. RMвЂ™s Treeshare is not the same as FTMвЂ™s Tree-syncing but does allow users to connect to Ancestry family trees, compare differences and changes between Ancestry and RM trees, and then select what information to migrate between the two versions. The new interface also includes our family trees we have on Ancestry which RM is calling Treeshare. Now RM users can see hints for records along with the hints they are enjoying from, MyHeritage, and Findmypast. Roots Magic just released their version 7.5 which interfaces with for the first time. I will convert the remaining trees after the dust settles for the rollout of FT2017.

Now I will install FTM2107 and only convert old trees to the new format as needed. I had preordered FTM2017 but I was planning on delaying its installation until I was sure there were no comments from users about any bugs. My plans have changed due to this announcement.

It is bad news for users who were not planning to upgrade because the announcement states clearly that the search and merge function in the older versions will no longer work.

This is good news for those who were waiting anxiously for the new syncing software and bad news for those that were planning on continuing to use their older versions. In a recent new release, MacKiev, makers of FTM, warn that the discounted preorder price ($29.99) for their new version is good only through July 14 and they will release FT2017 this weekend. Converting your FTM data to narratives may be tedious, but you will see more of your ancestry in the narratives. Narratives are flexible in adding information, more readable, and can be easily shared. I have found that using narratives as my research document makes most of the challenges of using linage software disappear. Instead, I run Pedigree Charts when I need to add them to a section of the family history to show how the individuals are related. However, I do not run another Descendant Report, Individual Report, or Smart Story. In addition, I refer to it often when I am writing to get the family group information correct or to review where to place a new name in the family tree. I still use FTM as a reference for names, dates, and relationships. Then, place the copy of the document at the end of the narrative with a citation of its source. When I find a new document, I add the information from the document in the narrative. First, the facts and stories are added to the narrative with references to my sources. I save all new facts, photos, and documents to this summary of my ancestor. My individual narratives now become my primary research document. These pictures bring my ancestors more alive. I place them next to the text where appropriate or at the end of the narrative. I search for pictures of my ancestors, their homes, schools, places of employment, vintage images of the area, and maps. Seeing the facts come together then encourages me to add photos and maps. This method seems tedious, but I get excited when I see my ancestorвЂ™s life story start to appear. Next, I organize each fact into chronological order. My first step in editing the text document is to make each fact a Bullitt Point. Today, I use FTMвЂ™s Smart Story function to generate my initial text document. My initial conversion methods used the Descendant Reports and Individual Reports to copy and paste their contents to Microsoft Word documents for each direct ancestor. I began converting my FTM data to text documents to become more organized and have a better, more readable format to share with my family. It was even worse when I tried to share the trees and charts with my family members. This format gave me a massive warehouse of information but a challenging landscape of organization when trying to use the genealogical reports to analyze my facts.

My initial efforts in genealogy research were adding as many names, dates, and facts to my family tree using a tree on and offline using FamilyTree Maker.
