1. Name of the People
2. Relationships
3. Sources
4. Facts

9. FTM & Ancestry handle source citations differently so there could be a difference in citations.
10. Family Tree Maker allows a single citation to link to facts from multiple people. This means you can not put multiple citations.
11. Ancestry, an online database, does not allow a single citation to a single person; therefore, you will need to be careful when you sync your information.
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, 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 this article, we will discuss The Difference Between Ancestry and Family Tree Makers. If 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 discussed in 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 access it using a web browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

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. Like a magazine or cable subscription, your Ancestry subscription is a recurring charge that occurs at a specified interval until canceled.

Your subscription gives you access to the website’s records 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 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 can use the program without an internet connection. However, some features, such as synchronizing hints or web searches, will be unavailable without the Internet.

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

Once you have created the book, chart, or report you want, you can 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 linked 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 personal 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 the possibility of exporting 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 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 managing your tree even more accessible. These include three different types of calculators, options to compact files, convert names, sort children by birthdate, and more.

Organization of work

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

In this blog, we have tried to explain how to sync your family tree maker properly. If you follow this instruction, you will learn to sync your Family Tree Maker 2019 or later version.

Sync your Family Tree Maker 2019

• compacting

If you are ready to sync your tree, you should compact it first (it shortens your file size). A short file size gives you less error than a bigger file. When you compact your tree, try to compact it several times until it shows reduced by 0%. Do remember to check the box that says “extend analysis.” If there is any error, it will fix it.

• Take a Backup

Before you start syncing your tree, you should take a full manual backup. If anything goes wrong with sync or the data you have, you will not lose all your data. You will have to go back to it, and you will not lose any of your information. Make sure to check the box that says “including media”.

• Syncing time

Try to sync your tree early in the morning of the next day. If you have started working on your tree and finished doing everything, and now you are ready to sync your tree, then you should try to upload your tree to ancestry the following day in the early morning. Or you should try to upload it late at night. These two are the best times for us.

• Way to sync

You should always sync your tree manually. You will have an option to include media. Automatic backup does not cover the media option, and this will not save your media. Please remember not to change your tree name or tree file. If you change and try to sync, ancestry will create a different tree on their server on our website, and you may get confused later. 

So, this is how you can sync your Family Tree Maker 2019 or later version properly

Quick Read:-

• Family Tree Maker 2019 Review – Family Tree Maker Support

While doing the Ancestry web search on Family Tree Maker software 2019, you may get a Security error or a blank page. This is a known issue, and Mackiev is working with Ancestry to resolve it as soon as possible.

Security Error or Blank Page in Web Search?

FTM directly connects to Ancestry, so you can search for records without visiting Ancestry’s website. You must have an Ancestry subscription to access the search results from Ancestry. Log into the Ancestry account on your Family Tree Maker first to use the web search feature.

You can find and use the web search feature on the Family Tree Maker toolbar. When you click on the web search tab on the toolbar on the left side, you will get the option to select Ancestry.

On your tree, you must click on the name of an individual for whom you want to find more information. Ancestry Record will find the information about that person from its billions of records and will bring it to you on the same screen.

Is there any workaround to fit this issue?

You can try some workaround while the engineers from Mackiev and Ancestry are working on this issue.

A utility that changes the settings on your computer to resolve this issue can be downloaded. After you download the tool, you must run it on your computer.

You can also edit the address by going into the address bar inside the web search. You can use ancestry.com instead of ancestry.ca or ancestry.co.uk.

Alternatively, you can use the Ancestry website to do the web search using your computer browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.

Once you are done with the web search, you can use FamilySync in your Family Tree Maker software to synchronize any changes to your tree.

Should I contact Ancestry for this Error?

Do not contact Ancestry support for this issue since their agents are not trained to work on Family Tree Maker. You can reach us on the phone or chat to speak to a live agent and get help on this issue.

To start with it all, using 23andMe, you are provided with DNA tests that do two things: break down your Ancestry and give you an enormous depiction of your Health by using your saliva sample. They are also about pinpointing where one comes from by matching their DNA with over 2,000 reference populations. They even get a particular way down to countries.

23andMe Review 2024

However, it is not only about the roots. 23andMe also looks at the DNA for signs of certain diseases and conditions that could run in your family or pass down to your kids. Furthermore, a user once dug into all the nooks and crannies – features, results, cost and support to see if 23andMe can walk the talk.

So now, if you want to explore your heritage, you should see sub-regional Ancestry and peek into your genetic health risks; 23andMe’s test is simply an intelligent choice. However, if you are about tracing your family tree, connecting with relatives and wanting to dive into your Ancestry, then you should try AncestryDNA. They have the most extensive global record and user database, so unearthing your ancestor’s information is a breeze.

Products and Services in 23andMe: just two kits do it all!

You have two DNA testing options offered by 23andMe: an Ancestry + Traits test and a Health + Ancestry test, the latter of which I also took myself just for this review.

23andMe also ships to the UK and US and an additional 50 countries. This includes the whole of Europe and several Asia Pacific countries.

Moreover, the DNA that you get from 23andMe analyzes your DNA to discover potential relatives through DNA mat and determine ching. Your predisposition to ensure you, so your genet, is rid your carrier status for various health condition.

This package has a membership that includes everything from the Health + Ancestry Kit, and you also get access to exclusive reports and enhanced ancestry features.

You can check out the comparison table below; it will help you decide which 23andMe service suits you best.

What is 23andMe, and how it works?

You already know what you should expect from the DNA testing process with 23andMe. I had ordered the Health + Ancestry test and was pleased that it arrived in less than a week. You will see that the at-home DNA test kit contains a saliva collection tube, stabilizing fluid, a baggy with a cotton pad to secure your sample and an instruction booklet.

Before you collect your saliva sample, you must register your kit on the 23andMe website. This process also involves entering the unique code provided with your kit and creating an account. It would be best to remember that this registration step is crucial because it allows the laboratory to link your DNA sample to your account and ensures that you receive progress updates through your account and email.

In the booklet, the instructions make the collection process straightforward. Hence, to ensure the submission of a high-quality sample, you should abstain from eating, drinking, or chewing gum for a minimum of 30 minutes before you complete the test. Furthermore, it is also worth noting that a few users have mentioned that 23andMe might require a slightly larger saliva sample; therefore, being a little generous with your sample can help avoid any possible delays in delivering your results.

Update my 23andMe DNA Matches and Tree

I didn’t enjoy spitting into the collection tube repeatedly; it certainly is not as quick as swabbing the cheeks as you get to do with the MyHeritage ancestry test. Nonetheless, within 5 minutes, I had already filled the saliva collection tube to the required level, even though I had a dry mouth at the end.

Now, all that is left to do is to stabilize your sample with the provided vial of fluid, and then you are ready to send it to the lab. It would be best to ship your sample in the box the kit came in, saving on waste, and the shipping is already paid for. Moreover, I just needed to pop it in my nearest postbox and wait for my results to be ready, which takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

5 Standout Features

Ancestry Composition

The results you get from 23andMe include an ancestry composition and a list of your population percentages arranged in a hierarchy from the continental to the regional level. It also consists of a percentage breakdown of the ethnicities that help to make up your heritage.

To determine your ancestral breakdown, 23andMe uses an algorithm that helps analyze short pieces of DNA that are compared to reference populations, made up of thousands of individuals whose Ancestry is known of 45 individual regions and ethnicities.

My Ancestry composition shows that I am 99.3% European, with the remaining 0.6% being Sudanese and North African. And the majority of my heritage is British and Irish, with some Scandinavian.

You can select any of your ethnicities from the interactive colour-coded map to learn more about that particular heritage and how the genetic signature found its way into your DNA. Also, the DNA matches those who share the same ethnicity. You also discover extensive historical and cultural information, which is excellent for history buffs.

And if you dig deeper into your report, you can even discover your recent Ancestry from the last 200 years, which can pinpoint your origins at the sub-regional level. This is done by comparing your DNA to that from over 2,000 reference populations, which consist of 400,000 samples.

Furthermore, if you would like to be assigned a recent ancestor location, you must share identical DNA segments with groups of people with known Ancestry from that location. The strength of the probability of recent Ancestry arranges the regional ancestry locations.

Maternal and Paternal Haplogroups

The 23andMe haplogroup reports can help to shed light on the origins and migrations of your ancestors going back tens of thousands of years. Moreover, your maternal haplogroup tells you about your maternal line ancestors and is also inherited from your mother’s mtDNA. However, if you are a male, your paternal haplogroup will tell you about your paternal line ancestors, inherited from the father to son from Y-DNA.

Now, as human beings are spreading out geographically, it is also reflected in variations in mtDNA and Y-DNA and by looking at the pattern of variants in present-day populations. You can also use them to trace human genetic and migration history. Isn’t this fascinating?

Everyone can trace their maternal Ancestry to a single woman who lived between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago. However, with maternal and paternal Haplogroups, you can also trace your Ancestry to a more recent common ancestor. For example, my maternal haplogroup is ‘H’, which indicates that I am descend from a woman who lived in the Middle East 18,000 years ago.

Neanderthal DNA

Do you know that the Neanderthals were prehistoric humans who interbred with modern humans before they became extinct around 40,000 years ago, but a part of them remains in our DNA? Now, isn’t this interesting?

The research suggests that 1-2% of the DNA of all modern humans with Asian, Native American or European Ancestry is Neanderthal in origin. Besides, you can find out how much you have with 23andMe’s detailed Neanderthal ancestry report.

As you can see in the image, my Neanderthal report shows me that I have about 2% Neanderthal DNA, which equates to 242 gene variants out of the 7,462 tested. The report includes the following;

1. How does your level of Neanderthal DNA compare with other 23andMe customers?
2. Traits are associate with your Neanderthal DNA variant, such as your likelihood to have a fear of heights.
3. Many interesting facts about Neanderthals include what they looked like and how intelligent they were.

DNA matches

Following the analysis of your DNA, 23andMe also searches for users in their database with DNA segments that match yours. Hence, you discover that the percentage of DNA you share with your matches is used to estimate how they are related.

Therefore, as you can see, my DNA matches indicate that there are 1,500 people in the 23andMe database with whom I share DNA.

You should inspect each match more closely to know where on your chromosomes you share DNA, where they fit on your family tree, how the ancestry breakdown can be compared to yours, relatives you have in common, their haplogroup, and the proportion of Neanderthal DNA. If you want, you can also contact your DNA matches and learn more about your shared heritage.

Furthermore, your close DNA matches are automatically add to your family tree base on your estimate relationship. As you know, the family tree builder is easy to use with simple input methods.

In addition, 23andMe has recently launched a new tool for health + Ancestry service customers in the US and Canada called the ‘Family Health History Tree’. It presents as a regular family tree. However, it includes the ability to include critical medical conditions, which gives you a visual record of your and your close relatives’ past and current health issues. Moreover, this might help you to understand more about your Health and the Health of your children.

Nonetheless, it is not as sophisticated as those offered by Ancestry and MyHeritage, which also provide you access to vast historical databases., However, 23andMe’s family tree builder gives you a good starting point for your genealogy journey.

Health and Traits

You also have 100 personalized health and traits reports included as well in the Health + Ancestry test from 23andMe. This will let you learn how your DNA can affect your chances of developing certain health conditions, such as your carrier status for congenital diseases, several wellness reporters and also how your genes influence certain physical senses and weird and unique traits.

You have the Health Predisposition reports currently available for 14 conditions. Which include Celiac disease, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes, which are associate with breast and ovarian cancer. So, if you know your risk level, you can easily access your personalized Health Action Plan to discover steps to mitigate your risk.

Share DNA Results and Tree Access at Ancestry

You also have the Carrier Status reports for 44 congenital conditions. This helps you to see if you have genetic variants that can passed on to your children. Therefore, if you are planning on starting a family tree. Then carrier testing can surely tell you your risk of passing on Canavan disease.

There’s more to it; you are also provided with 8 wellness reports to help you discover how your body responds to diet, exercise and sleep.

Here, you will learn about how to Update 23andMe DNA Matches and Trees. If you need any help, call our family tree support number. To start with it all, when I was finding a ‘Frazer DNA 2^nd cousin, which was recently removed at 23andMe, I took a closer look at the 23andMe Tree. I remember looking at 23andMe’s Tree last year in this blog. At that time, the Tree grouped some of my relatives; however, it seemed like they had difficulty telling which were paternal or maternal. Then, these relatives were mixed up on both sides. For example, I had both maternal and paternal relatives on both sides of my family tree.

Updating 23andMe DNA Matches and Trees

This Tree had been getting a little better as time passed. But recently, I found out that I can also modify the Tree to make it more sense. Therefore, I did just so and moved my maternal matches to the left side of my family tree and my paternal matches to the right side of the Tree.

You will see in the image above the circle with the face of me. Then, the red side is my mother’s, and the blue is my father’s. Hence, the colours now make complete sense. Meanwhile, my Nicholson side is purple, Rathfelder’s is red, and Frazer’s is blue. And most matches are on my ‘Hartley’ side because my ‘Hartley’ great grandparents had 13 children.

However, I have also manually added some matches to the Tree. I am not sure how 23andMe adds matches to a tree.

23andMe Family Tree – Beta

You must already know that 23andMe is beta-testing a new Family Tree builder that will work based only on your genetics without any input from your genealogy. This is excellent news, especially for those who do not know their family tree or have not entered any information into a tree file yet.

Now you will see that ‘Your genetic family tree on 23andMe has been built by an algorithm that automatically predicts relationships based on the DNA shared between you and your DNA relatives. This explains a recent company statement. Now, the size of your family tree depends on how many connections and DNA Relatives you have close relationships within the 23andMe database. Furthermore, participating in 23andMe’s DNA Relatives tool will help improve the experience. Moreover, as the 23andMe database grows, customers might see their trees expand.

Updated in March 2020 from 23andMe

‘Well, as of February 202, 23andMe customers can now edit and add relationships to their Family Tree for richer storytelling and accuracy. The Family Tree Builders can also move individuals and groups of relatives elsewhere and add relatives, even if they have not participated in 23andMe’s services. Customers get to add personal notes to the Tree, including ancestors’ names, important dates, and photos. They also send messages to their relatives who might offer more information and fill in the gaps further on their Family Tree.’

My Hartley Tree

It only takes a little while to edit these trees. However, I still need to add more of my grandfather’s siblings to the 2^nd row above. As you can see, I already had my grandfather’s brother ‘Greenwood’. And I was above to add at least three more siblings.

Well, then I added Robert, Mary and Annie Hartley. You should know that 23andMe does not arrange these ancestors by their age. For example, I wanted Robert on the right side as he was born in 1911. However, he is to the left of Mary, born in 1895. However, I am unsure who DL is as they did not answer my previous message. However, this cousin does not appear to descend from the four siblings identified. It is five, including my grandfather, James.

My Frazer DNA Tree

My Hartley tree was already in pretty good shape, but my ‘Frazer’ tree was not. This could be that it has a Rathfelder from my mother’s side and o, one of Frazer’s, which should have been on my father’s side, was on my mother’s side. Therefore, I tried fixing it but tried to make some mistakes.

Moreover, I added William and Hubert Frazer to my Tree, but they should be brothers of James Archibald and not sons. Hence, my first correction was also a mistake. Well, here William has been moved.

Next, I would have to delete the old William line. You should note that Katherine has a symbol beside her photo. This means she was placed on the Tree by 23andMe even though I had to move here. This also points out that Linda is on the left, so if placed correctly by 23andMe, it would be a Clarke relative, not a Frazer relative.

Below is a cleaned-up version;

I added George and Margaret Frazer at the top to avoid confusion. I also had to add the parents of Margaret Clarke so that I could clear up that side. Also, note that no DNA symbol is next to Stanley and Brenda. This is because I added them manually to my family tree. Nevertheless, I am unsure why 23andMe adds some DNA relatives to the Tree and not the others.

My Small Rathfelder 23andMe DNA Family Tree

Although you see that this Tree is small, 23andMe had this on my parental side originally, so I corrected it. There is one more exciting thing about ‘Ian’; he appears to be a direct male Rathfelder descendant. This means that 23andMe should have a basic YDNA Haplogroup for him.

Paternal Haplogroup

You must know that Paternal haplogroups identify the unbroken lines of men that all trace back to the same ancient common ancestor, such as;

• You

R-L21

• Iain

R-L2

Now, Iain should not match me unless I am coincidentally a Hartley. Moreover, this haplogroup was formed about 4400 years ago and is from Central Europe. This fits in well with Germany. The map even shows where the Rathfelder ancestors might have been 4400 years ago.

Then, further, YDNA testing would refine the information provided and Rathfelder on the YDNA of all humanity.

Please have a look at My Lentz and Nicholson 23andMe DNA Family Tree.

Well, my grandmother was a Lentz. However, her mother was a Nicholson.

I then also added the Nicholson descendant as well. And now there is no DNA symbol beside Joan.

Lentz YDNA

• Finding a general YDNA Haplogroup for my Lentz ancestors should be possible.
• You will see that Jereme is R-Y4355; nevertheless, I have discussed R-Y4355 in this blog. Hence, this haplogroup is a further refinement of R-L2.
• This makes some sense, as both these lines are German.
• Therefore, below you will see the first part of the FTDNA Lentz YDNA Surname Project results;

• And the first group mentions L2, so these might be distant relatives.

Conclusion

• By manipulating the 23andMe Family Tree, I could write more information from the DNA matches that are there.
• Hence, it feels great to be able to manipulate the 23andMe family tree as well as correct errors that were there.
• I can also see that if my Tree is correct, then Linda matches on my Clarke and not my Frazer line.
• Furthermore, I was also able to get my first indication of ‘YDNA Haplogroup’ for my Rathfelder ancestors through cousin Iain.

By now, you should be over with the above details and better understand how it looks when you Update 23andMe DNA Matches and Trees. If you require further guidance, you can contact the well-experienced and dedicated experts available 24/7. And the team will then surely assist you with the most suitable information.
