  12. When the FTM Tree is uploaded on ancestry, the tree on ancestry will replicate the citations that are shared with multiple people in FTM so that each person has their own citation on ancestry.com.

How to Prepare for FamilySync On Your Computer

The greater accomplishment of using FamilySync instead of TreeSync is a user no longer needs to break the links.  It is because each Ancestry tree can link to many Family Tree Maker Trees. So, it is no longer required to break the old link to download a tree to a new device like a laptop or desktop.

When you use a family tree maker on multiple devices, then you need family sync. Say, for instance, if a user has a daughter and he/she wants his/her daughter to use the Family Tree Maker on a different device. There is no need to re-upload and download your FTM tree if it’s already linked to an Ancestry tree from one computer. That is going to be a hectic process and time-consuming and involves breaking the old link.

Moreover, by using the Family Sync instead of TreeSync, any change to an Ancestry tree, whether from your laptop or mobile device, will sync with your Family Tree Maker tree.

For example:-

When a user installs the Family Tree Maker 2017 on a new device, he/she may think to break the old link and then download a fresh copy onto your new computer. It is hereby recommended not to do that, so do not break old links.

Don’t think of breaking that link to move your tree to a new device. You can, instead, make a backup on the old computer and move it to the new computer on a USB flash drive and restore it there.

The right way of doing it is to copy a backup (.ftmb file) to the other computer with a flash drive and restore it. Both copies will be linked to the same Ancestry tree.

In the end, both the tree will be linked to the same ancestry tree and you will be able to save a lot of time uploading the tree and then downloading it.

That’s what it is the FamilySync. Multiple devices. One Ancestry tree.

In case, your Familysync in the Family tree does not work or gives you a hard time using this service. Here is our family tree maker Live Chat. Chat with our Experts and Fix your issue. You can call us at our Family Tree Maker Support Number +1-888-257-3335 for more assistance.

Constant Orange Sync weather – Family Tree Maker 2019 (Updated – May 2023)

Orange Sync weather Issue

If you are a Family Tree Maker 2019 user, you may seen a continuous orange sync weather Issue since April 2023. Do not try to sync your tree to ancestry if you see the orange sync weather Issue. If you think it is essential for you to sync your tree, then take a complete backup of it and then sync it. If your sync attempt fails continuously, you should report to MacKiev.

What is the development on fixing the orange sync weather Issue?

We chatted with MacKiev customer service and called Ancestry on behalf of our customers. Here is what we know. MacKiev and Ancestry developers are working together to resolve this issue, but they have yet to determine the exact date to fix it. However, they do blame each other for this problem. Therefore, we are not sure who is responsible for this issue.

Here is what we suggest to users!

Please do not attempt to sync your tree if you have orange weather status. Likewise, please only download or upload a new tree once the status is green. Keep a copy of your data on an external hard disk so you will not lose your data.

FAQ

Question – What if I am a new user of Family Tree Maker and want to download a tree from Ancestry to FTM2019?

  • The ‘Go online’ option means that you are not currently set to access the Internet through Family Tree Maker. Therefore, you would need to select the option to allow FTM to connect to the web first.
  • However, if ‘Go Offline’ is display, then this means that your FTM is already set to go online.

Step2 – Checking the date, time and time zone for your PC

In case the date, time and time zone are not set up correctly on your PC, then FTM will face some authenticating issues with the servers.

So you would need first to adjust the date and time preferences;

  1. You will need to click on the time that is listed in the top right corner of your current screen and then select the ‘Date and Time Preferences’ option.

FTM 2017 for Mac

2. After doing so, you should confirm the date and time it is list right under the ‘Date & Time’ tab.

FTM 2017 for Mac

  • Well, the easiest way to get this done is to check the box that is right next to ‘Set date and time automatically’.
  1. And now you will need to click on the ‘Time Zone’ tab and also confirm the time zone listed correctly.

FTM 2017 for Mac

  1. You can now close the ‘Date & Time Preferences’ by giving a click on the ‘Red Circle’ icon in the top left and then reopening FTM.

You might also need to confirm the date and time as well on your router. If you need to, then you should refer to your router’s manual, or you could contact the router manufacturer for assistance.

Step3 – Updating OS X

You should know that software updates can also increase the usability of both Ancestry as well as FTM. So if you’re OS X/MacOS or add-ons are not update, then you could experience issues on the FTM website and also while using the software.

On a Mac device, the updating is handle through the Software Update or the App Store option (this totally depends on your system) that is right in the ‘Apple’ menu you should see it located in the upper left corner of the screen.

FTM 2017 for Mac

  • When the updating is complete, you have to open FTM again and check if you are still facing the same issue or not.

Step4 – Disabling proxy servers

You must know that due to security reasons, Ancestry and several other websites do not respond properly if you try and access them through a proxy server.

Therefore, to give a better and more consistent experience on Ancestry, we do not advise or support the use of proxy servers to access Ancestry, even through FTM. So now the best thing is to disable proxy servers, and to do so, you would need to follow the given instructions carefully.

Now, after you quit FTM,

  1. You will need to click on the ‘Apple’ Menu you should see in the top left of the screen and then select the ‘System Preferences’ option.

FTM 2017 for Mac

2. Next, right under the Internet & Wireless section, you should click on ‘Network’.

FTM 2017 for Mac

3. After that, in the ‘Network’ window, you have to select ‘Ethernet’ (or Airport only if you connect to the internet wirelessly) from the left side and then click on the ‘Advanced’ option in the bottom right of the page.

FTM 2017 for Mac

4. You now need to click on the ‘Proxies’ tab. You should see it in the window that opens.

FTM 2017 for Mac

5. You must remove any checks that are next to ‘Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), and SOCKS Proxy, and then you just need to click on OK.

FTM 2017 for Mac

NOTE: You can be at ease as other proxy settings should not affect FTM; however, it wouldn’t do any harm to uncheck any other protocols listed.

  1. You now need to click on the ‘Apply’ button that is in the bottom right of the ‘Network’ settings window.

FTM 2017 for Mac

7. When you are done, you just need to click the ‘Network’ window by clicking on the ‘Red Circle’ that is in the upper left of the screen, after which you will need to re-open FTM.

Step5 – Website accelerator software

Well, generally, the ‘Web accelerator’ software is use by those who have a dial-up connection, and it works similarly to the way a proxy server does. The software catches the items and pages that are frequently used; it also compresses information and optimizes codes coming from web pages as well.

Since this is the case, we do not suggest it and, therefore, cannot support the use of web accelerators while using FTM. Hence, if you are using a ‘Web Accelerator’, then you would need to contact your ISP to help you disable it.

Step6 – Security Software and Firewalls

To be honest, this issue is not cause by a firewall or security, but there are some security programs that can interfere with System changes that FTM has to make so that your product is register. So, if you temporarily turn off any Security on the system, it can help rule this out. However, you might need to first consult with your security software company directly to help you with disabling it.

In this article, We will discuss about The Difference Between Ancestry and Family Tree Makers. In Case you need any help, you can Contact our Family Tree Maker Experts and fix your issue.

The difference between Ancestry and Family Tree Maker is discusses the following:

  • Website vs. Software
  • Subscribe vs. Purchase.
  • Online vs. Offline
  • Books and Charts – My Canvas vs. Publish
  • Migration maps in Family Tree Maker
  • Sync Differences
  • Unique Features of Family Tree Maker

Website vs. Software

The primary difference between Ancestry and Family Tree Maker is that Ancestry is a website, and Family Tree Maker is software. A website, like Ancestry, is on the Internet, and you use a web browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge to get to the website.

Family Tree Maker is a software that is installed on your computer’s hard drive. Software is usually on a disc that you put into your computer and install or download from the internet. Other examples of programs you might have are Microsoft Office or Norton Security.

Subscribe vs. Purchase

Ancestry is a website to which you can subscribe. Your Ancestry subscription, like a magazine or cable subscription, is a recurring charge that occurs at a specified interval until cancelled.

Your subscription gives you access to the records on the website and other features, such as contacting other members.

Family Tree Maker is a software that you buy like you would buy a television or a DVD. You do not have to keep paying for Family Tree Maker. You can, however, pay to the support experts to get unlimited help 24/7. Choose to use Family Tree Maker with your Ancestry subscription to get the most use out of the program.

Online vs. Offline

Ancestry is a website, and you need a good internet connection to use it. If you do not have an internet connection, you cannot visit Ancestry or any other website. The trees and pictures you upload to Ancestry are stored on our website.

Family Tree Maker is primarily stored on your computer, so you will be able to use the program without an internet connection. There are features that will be unavailable without the internet, such as synchronizing hints or Web Searches.

But you will be able to add people and other information to Family Tree Maker without an internet connection.

Books and Charts – My Canvas vs. Publish

Ancestry has limited abilities for printing your family tree. You can print up to four generations of the chart you are looking at, a profile page, or a family group sheet. You also have the choice to print the records on Ancestry.

My Canvas will take the information in your tree and generate a book or poster according to the layout you choose, which you can then customize.

Family Tree Maker has publishing options, with thirty-seven different charts and reports with a wide range of customization abilities. You can include these charts and reports in a book. Family Tree Maker books are not automatically generated and so are much more customizable.

Once you have created the book, chart or report you want, you have the choice to print it on your home printer or export your project to a variety of formats you can take to a print shop and have printed professionally.

Sync Differences

There are differences between your tree in Ancestry and your tree in Family Tree Maker when you have a synced tree.

Uniqueness in Family Tree Maker

There are impressive features that are available only in Family Tree Maker: 

Backing up trees 

Your family trees are essential; not only do they have your family’s history, but they also are hours of hard work and effort. Creating regular backups to preserve the fruits of your toils is one of the things you can do only in Family Tree Maker.

Here, you can find out more about how to make a backup in Family Tree Maker. Then, if your original tree is damaged or you want to revert to an earlier copy, you can easily restore it from the backup file.

You can restore a tree from a backup. For better prospects, you can choose to have Family Tree Maker back up your tree automatically every time you exit the program. This will make sure you have the latest backup file in case your tree gets damaged or lost.

Map creation management 

Ancestry lets you view maps you have created using other software. However, with Family Tree Maker, you can create your own maps within the program itself, showing all the events that took place at a certain location and the people associated with each event.

You can create maps by plotting the migration routes of your ancestors, revealing the journey your family has made over land and sea through the ages. To find out more about creating Migration Maps.

Source citations

Family Tree Maker and Ancestry handle source citations differently. Whereas the online tree system limits a single citation to a single person, Family Tree Maker allows a single citation to be link to facts for multiple people.

Furthermore, while you can view a source citation on Ancestry only when it is included in a currently open fact, the Sources tab of Family Tree Maker allows you to view and manage all the source citations in the entire tree in a single workspace.

Cleaning up duplicate facts and sources

There are tools you can use to search for and remove duplicate individuals both on Ancestry and in Family Tree Maker. Still, duplicate facts, sources, and source citations can be found and merged automatically only in FTM.

Note’s creation  

On Ancestry, you can add personal notes. In Family Tree Maker, you can create a variety of notes: person, research, fact, relationship, media, and source citation. When you upload a tree to Ancestry, only person notes will be included, and they can only be seen by people you have invited to view your online tree.

More export options

If you want to share your family tree with someone or open it in different software, Ancestry.com offers you the possibility to export the whole tree in one GEDCOM format.

With Family Tree Maker, on the other hand, you can export all or just a part of your tree in a choice of FTM and GEDCOM formats. This means you can tailor what you export more closely to the needs of the person you are sharing with.

Exporting a specific branch of your family tree is easy. Go to the People workspace, select the person whose family you want to export, right-click (Control-click on Mac), and choose Export Branch.

Merge trees and branches

One of the inimitable Family Tree Maker features is the ability to merge one tree, or branch of a tree, with another.

Printing options

Only Family Tree Maker has a direct link to Family Chart Masters for printing pro-quality, large-format charts. Family Tree Maker for Windows is also integrated with Charting Companion and Family Book Creator plug-in, giving you access to high-quality printing of different types of charts, reports, and books.

Unique tools 

Family Tree Maker comes with a range of handy, practical tools that will make the management of your tree even more accessible, including three different types of calculators, options to compact files, convert names, sort children by birthdate, and more.

Organization of work

With the help of the Plan workspace, you can organize your work by creating and managing tasks, making the family tree-building process even simpler and more efficient.

TreeVault Cloud Services helps to transfer your FTM tree from one computer to another. You must make sure that the tree stays updated with TreeVault Cloud Service on the second computer.

This article helps you to know how to transfer your FTM tree between two computers using a USB flash drive and then connect it back to your Antenna tree.

Transfer your FTM tree files from one computer to another computer

To successfully transfer your tree file from one computer to another, FTM 2019 must installed on both computers. You must have a removable storage device to move your file.

Alternatively, it can be transferred via a computer network or cloud storage.

The easiest way to transfer a tree from one computer to another, however, is by using a USB flash drive.

If you do not have one, it may be worth your time to buy one before continuing with the steps below.

On the first computer:

  1. Open FTM 2019 on the computer with your current FTM tree.
  2. Manually do the full backup of your FTM tree.
  3. Go to the location of the backup file you have created and copy the file to your flash drive.
  4. Unplug your flash drive from the first computer.

On the second computer:

  1. Plug the flash drive into an available USB port on the computer. Which do you want to transfer your FTM Source tree?
  2. Copy the backup file to your computer’s hard disk before going ahead with the restoration process.
  3. Open FTM 2019, click the File menu and choose Restore.
  4. In the dialogue that appears, navigate to the location where you saved the backup file, select the file, and then click Open.
  5. Select the location on your hard disk where you want your tree to be saved (FTM tree files are usually stored in the Family Tree Maker folder in your Documents folder).

Then click the Save button to restore your tree from the backup. The restored tree opens in Family Tree Maker.

  1. Make sure you are logged in to TreeVault with the same account you used when creating the Antenna tree on the first computer.

If you are logged in to a different TreeVault account, click Cancel in the message that appears, prompting you to create an Antenna tree, log out of TreeVault, and then log back in with the TreeVault account you were using on the first computer.

  1. Click on View > Tree Browser or click the Select Treepop-up menu on the far left of the main toolbar and then click Tree Browser. The Tree Browser Window appears.
  2. In the Tree Browser window, select TreeVault on the left and then click Next in the bottom-right corner of the window.
  3. Click the Find FTM Source Tree button.
  4. Select your tree in the Results for FTM Source Treecolumn.
  5. Make sure that the selected tree is the tree that you restored in step 5 (double-check the tree). Then click Use as Source Tree.
  6. Your tree is linked to the Antenna tree and becomes the FTM Source tree. Only changes to this new Source tree on the second computer will be applied to your Antenna tree.

The FTM tree from which you made the backup on the first computer will no longer be linked to the Antenna tree.

  1. If you close your restore tree after step 5 and perform steps 6–10 without an open tree. Then, the Source tree will open automatically.

You can click Open This FTM Tree in the Tree Browser window at any time to open your Source tree.

This is how you can Transfer FTM Files from one computer to another computer. Apart from this, if you have any queries regarding the family tree maker, then you can call the family tree maker support phone number.

Backup Family Tree Maker File

Such as we never know when something can go wrong unexpectedly with the current file, supposing it gets corrupt suddenly. etc., doing a backup will help you restore the current backup, and it will start working all over again. Therefore, you should never forget to back up your tree file before you choose to make any major changes, such as syncing, merging, updating your copy of FTM, etc.

Furthermore, it would also be great if you regularly store full backups of your trees outside the computer, such as on an external drive, or you could use a cloud storage service like ‘Dropbox’.

Moreover, full backup files are the safest and smoothest ways to help you keep moving your tree data to Family Tree Maker onto another computer.

The process of backing up a Tree file in FTM 2017 and FTM 2019 for Mac and Windows:

2. And now, if you would like a new name to distinguish your backup file from your original tree, then you need to type a new name in the ‘Back up Filename’ field. For example, if you choose to back up your tree to the same USB flash drive every time and this backup file has the same name as a backup file that already has on the drive, then you should know that this backup will overwrite that original file.

3. After that, you will have to select one of these backup locations.

DVD or flash drive – you need to select the ‘Removable media’ option first, and then in the pop-up menu, you need to choose your DVD drive or flash drive.

Hard disk – you have to select ‘Location on this computer’ to be able to save the backup file to the FTM folder in your ‘Documents’ folder. Then, you should click on the ‘Change’ button to select a new location for storing the backup on your hard disk.

4. Next, you need to select the ‘Media files’ checkbox to include all media items from the tree’s media folder.

5. And then you also need to select the ‘Historical events’ checkbox to include the historical events that you have created or edited for timelines.

8. Finally, you just need to click on the ‘Back up’ button – you will see a message telling you when the tree file has successfully been backed up.

NOTE: You must keep in mind that the backup files cannot be opened in other genealogy applications such as GEDCOMs. They can only be opened with the version of FTM in the way they were created or with a newer version of the app.
