I can TreeShare on the laptop computer to update the laptop RootsMagic database. * Add information (names, relationships, facts, media, sources, etc.) only to the RootsMagic database, using standardized place names. I checked a number of persons in the Family Tree Maker database with the same persons in the Ancestry Member Tree, and the information appears to be the same.ĥ) So now I have the same information in my RootsMagic 7 database, my 'big' Ancestry Member Tree, and in my Family Tree Maker 2017 database.Ħ) How can I keep all of the information synced between all three systems and two computers? My plan is: I easily started the download process from my Ancestry Member Tree to Family Tree Maker 2017: Today, I decided to try to download the 'big' Ancestry Member Tree (the one TreeShared with RootsMagic) to a new Family Tree Maker 2017 database. I copied my RootsMagic database to my laptop, and was able to connect it to my new Ancestry Member Tree.Ģ) Family Tree Maker 2017 was released last weekend, and I have tested it with several of my smaller databases. Over the last three weeks, I have added some Notes and Media items to the Ancestry Member Tree using TreeShare. TreeShare works great, but my 'best practice' is to go only one way - RootsMagic to Ancestry, not Ancestry to RootsMagic - so that I don't get Ancestry Facts, non-EE quality sources, non-standard place names, and other information that might 'crap up' my RootsMagic database. Since then, I've been adding content to my RootsMagic database (new persons, new Facts, new sources, etc.) and syncing the persons with my Ancestry Member Tree. I did not add Media or Notes to the Ancestry Member Tree. One of the questions I had when I learned that Family Tree Maker 2017 would feature FamilySync (syncing an Ancestry Member Tree with one or more computers using Family Tree Maker), and when I learned that RootsMagic 7 would feature TreeShare (syncing an Ancestry Member Tree with one or more computers using RootsMagic) was this:Ĭan I use the same Ancestry Member Tree for both programs? On two different computers?ġ) Several weeks ago, I uploaded my current 'big' RootsMagic family tree (48,000 persons) to a new Ancestry Member Tree using TreeShare.
