Been using Family Treemaker 2009. When adding shared event such as marriage I am prompted to select or add spouse. I can then add source and attach document/photo to one person in the marriage and it is automatically added to the other person.
On the Ancestry website, when building a tree, I add an event such as marriage and it prompts to select or add spouse. This again automatically adds this event to the other party.
However, when adding a source and/or attaching document/photo to one person in the marriage it does not automatically add that shared source to the other partner.
I have spoken with a number of people at Ancestry and get mixed responses. Some say their website lacks a lot of functionality that Family Treemaker has whilst others have said it should add a shared resource to both parties but they can not tell me how.
It seems strange that when adding a shared resource to more than one person on an Ancestry website tree it seems incapable of doing what Family Treemaker does as a basic function. It does not seem to make sense that for a shared event it will be necessary to enter the same information for every person sharing that event.
Can anyone advise as to how shared events on Ancestry are dealt with
Thanks
