How many times over the years have I done this BUT, having not done any research for over a year really, I cannot remember how to get all my updates I add on ancestry automatically added to my FTM 2011. Help please - I know it was reasonably simple but for the life of me.............

Getting my ancestry tree downloaded to my FTM program on my PC

TREE PAGES (drop down menu) >> TREE SETTINGS >> MANAGE YOUR TREE (on right hand side) >> EXPORT TREE
That will download a GEDCOM file to your computer which you can then import into FTM.
Might be worth treating yourself to a copy of FTM2012 or FTM2014 because with those versions you can synchronise the tree on Ancestry and the one on FTM to automatically update whenever you have added new data to either of them. With the earlier versions of the program the only means of transfer is via GEDCOM which is data only, so any photos attached will not be transferred.Elaine

I was told at the WDYTYA that the 2014 (World) is the last version that will be in a box - from now on it'll be a download whether that applies to all the Family Tree Makers or just that one and whether it will still include the free subs.

Hi val, dont know how I managed that - told you Im going doolally. Been to hairdresser - I gave up on trying to make a gedcome to put on here. I followed the 2010 FTM details on here for my 2011 - got it all loaded but it sort of fell apart when I was supposed to give it a save as and also a ged ending. I didnt have the opportunity to do it - it just made a file and that was it then I couldnt find it or open it. LOL. Bet you are glad Im back.

If you have a tree on Ancestry and Family Tree Maker, all you need to do is link them together and they will automatically update each time you log out. To do this from Family Tree Maker, in Plan make sure you are on the tree you want to link to Ancestry and then click on the Upload and Link to Ancestry in the middle section under Tree Sync Via Ancestry. The name of the Ancestry Tree will come up in a field at the top of the box (if you have more than one tree, they should all be listed and you can choose) and then you just need to follow the rest of the instructions.Last edited by PDennis; 25-04-15, 19:07.
