I realize you can "build" a family tree and upload it to Ancestry.com. Can you download the info you've built on Ancestry.com to this product?

You won't need to do a manual download, Ancestry.com will do that for you when you open your Family Tree Maker on your computer. The two data bases (Ancestry.com and FTM) will "sync" up with each other automatically. When you add data to FTM it will sync with Amcestry.com when you exit the program. When you go online and add data to Ancestry.com it will sync up the next time you open the FTM program on your computer. You can also download your family tree from Ancestory.com and FTM into a GEDCOM file that can be uploaded to other genealogy programs and websites.

Hi there. Unfortunately, I cannot attach a document to this page. Can you go ahead and send an e-mail over, so I can attach the directions in my response? Thank you.

yes; you can; its a great product for the price; my problem with it is that it slowed down once I loaded my data (but I had a lot of data to add to it); its great for a teenager, or someone who is relatively new to tablets.....ideal for a grandparent

I imported from Family Tree maker sucessfully.. I always make sure to do a back-up before I do any importing or other changes to my data. Hope this helps.

I'm a genealogist and buy these by the dozens, so that I can use a different folder color for each family line, one folder per couple and their children. I put the family group sheet in the front (so it shows through clearly), then copies of documents, other charts, To Do lists, correspondence, resource info, online catalog printouts, website printouts, etc...anything I'm currently working on. Then when I go to a research repository - or find some new website with potentially helpful information - I have everything I need in one place.

Yes. Just Google your question and you will find a wealth of Info on how to do so in the event you need a different app. It is all free and very informative!

I don't know I'm sure there is enough room to squeeze it in if you want too. I use it for my direct line ancestors only. I reserve additional information for the family group sheets or on line family trees like www.familysearch.org which is open to everyone now, or www.ancestry.com or any others you are familiar with. I hope this helps you.

According to the website there is a digital download, so you should be able to though I am not quite sure since I don't use it.

You can create a "book" which would take some effort but it does allow you to add images. The book can then be saved as a pdf. You can export trees as Family Treemaker files with images/media, but the user would have to have FTM to open them. GEDCOM files, a universal file system, do not support images.

no - it just has suggestions on how to enter your ancestors - correctly- on the chart. but there are many websites to help you with your ancestors and the LDS church [the Mormons] has free to the public, not church members [well they can use it too] but you can go to many church libraries in every state and get on their computers and search your ancestors for free.. that is what I do.

Hello,That would be through a separate recorder or a computer set to do that or maybe a cloud service. I havent done it so you'd have to do research.

It does not write over your prior version, but if you are using Ancestry.com when you sync everything is going to load onto your your 2014 version.

Yes, but I would be careful. The reason I didn't continue with Roots Magic was that all my gedcom files did not transfer. I had a lot of information in my files other than the basic birth, death etc....things of that nature. If you don't have a lot of notes, it should be okay. If you are like me and have a lot of notes etc. then I would be wary.

I would say yes. I haven't been able to install 2014, getting numerous fails and errors and the customer service with ancestry is awful. If 2014 can't handle a simple installation then heaven know else would go wrong. I currently use the 2012 version and have been very happy with it. There s a lot of great upgrades in 2012 that i found helpful (I had upgraded from 2008 to 2012). I'm attempting to get my money back for the 2014 and will stick with 2012.

You should be able to do that. Actually, that is why I bought this program because I had a blank govt. PDF job application that I wanted to fill in the requested personal information with my computer rather than write it in. It worked well for me and the price was right rather than buying a current version of the program./
