You can try to use it and see if you like this genealogy software program. Since you are looking for a free family tree maker, then this will not be a good option. You can check the following software.

2. MyHeritage:–

This company provides family tree heritage for free but with limitations. You can add up to 250 people only with a space limit of 500MB. If you want to add more people, you will need to upgrade to premium service.

3. RootsMagic:-

If you are looking for 100% free software, then RootsMagic may end your search. RootsMagic is one of the well-known companies that provide family tree makers for free.

It has limitations, though, but what can you get for free? If you compare the paid vs free version, then you will find all the basic features are there. Instead of going for paid, you can use the RootsMagic family tree maker for free.

4. Legacy 9.0:-

If you are not happy with RootsMagic and you are still looking for Family tree builder software for free.

You can try Legacy Family Tree 9.0. Remember, it also comes with limitations. It has fewer features than the legacy 9.0 deluxe version, but even the basic version has good features included. So for the people who want to use it for free, this app is one of the best genealogy research programs.

5. Family Tree Maker:-

Family Tree Maker 2019 is one of the newest versions announced by software mackiev. In FTM 2019, you will get some new features like Rich color coding, family tree templates, and family tree charts.

Note: There are other software companies, but the features of the software are not as good; this is my personal experience, and I do not wish to demean any company.

What if the company stops providing free versions?

Good question; here is my advice for the users who are using the free version of the software from any company. You should make sure to take a backup of your tree so you will not lose your data. Your family tree maker data is very important as you spend your precious time collecting them. You should also export your tree as a Gedcom file.

Sharing Your Ancestry Family Tree

July 3, 2024July 2, 2024 by Andy Smith

Do you want to know how to share a ‘Family Tree‘? Well, this is just the perfect site for you to start with. Here, a step-by-step guide will teach you all about Sharing the Ancestry Family Tree.

Furthermore, if you are looking forward to viewing a Sharing Ancestry Family Tree, first of all, you must remember that your friends and family will surely need an Ancestry account. If they do not already have an Ancestry account, you will need to create a ‘Free guest account’ first. However, if they do not want to make an Ancestry account, you can ask them for help by filling in the details about people in your tree.

NOTE: You should know that you can always change or revoke the level of access that you grant to your tree at any time.

How To Sharing Ancestry Family Tree?

Using the app

You must begin from your tree and tap the ‘Share‘ icon.
Next, you must choose the role you would like the person to have and tap on the ‘Create Link‘ option.
And now, you should send the link to someone – remember that each person you invite will need a new link.

Via the browser

It would be best to start by clicking on the ‘Invite‘ button from your tree.
Then, it would be best if you chose how you would like to share your tree by using the tabs at the top of the opened window, such as those mentioned below;

Invite link creates an invitation link you can share anywhere and with anyone you want.
Email – sends an invitation to the email address that you enter.
Username – This lets you enter their username to send an email invitation to their registered email address; here, you do not need to know their email.

If you are creating an invite link, you should skip this step. If not, you must enter the recipient’s email address or username.

To invite multiple people at once, click the ‘Add another email/user option’.
To invite a circle – click on the ‘Username’ field and then choose a circle to invite from the given drop-down menu. Now, if you see a list of saved logins instead of your list of circles, then you can click on the username field again.

Next, in the ‘Role‘ menu, you have to choose which role you want the person to have, such as;

Guests – this views and adds comments; however, they cannot view living people automatically.
Contributors – they get to view and add comments, photos and stories. However, they cannot edit or remove existing tree content or consider living people automatically.
Editors – here, you can view living people automatically, remove and edit existing content, and add people, records, comments, photos and stories.

Furthermore, if you send a link, you should choose the ‘Create Link copy link’ option. And if you are shipping an email, you can include a message and select ‘Send Invites’. When someone accepts your invitation, you will see your tree appearing under the ‘Trees’ tab in their account.

How do you accept a tree invitation?

You must first click on the ‘View Tree‘ by entering your invitation email section.
Next, when prompted, you should sign into your Ancestry account or create one for free.
Now you can view the tree; the tree should appear under your ‘Trees’ tab.

How do you manage the invited people?

Using the app –

To access your profile, you must tap on the ‘Profile’ icon (photo or letters) at the top left corner of the page.
And then, just under the ‘Manage Tree’ section, you need to tap on the ‘Tree Name’ option.
After that, tap on ‘Name‘ to change or revoke access.

Using a browser –

You will need to go to the tree that you have shared.
Next, in the toolbar on the left side, click the ‘More (the three dots)’ icon and select ‘Tree Settings‘.
And now, you need to click on the ‘Invitations‘ tab.
Followed by editing someone’s role or ability to see living people. And if you want to end someone’s access to your tree, click the ‘Remove‘ button.
After doing so, you must click the ‘Save Changes’ button.

The process for removing a tree shared with you

You should also know that when you remove a tree that someone shared with you from your account, the person who shared it with you will not know about it as they are not notified, and their tree remains the same on their account.

Browser

You must first click on the ‘Trees’ tab and then select the ‘Create and Manage Trees’ option.
After that, just above your list of trees, click on the ‘Trees Shared with Me‘ option.
And now, in the ‘Tools’ column, you must click on the ‘Remove from list‘ option beside a tree you would like to remove.
Finally, when you finish the above, click the OK button.

All about troubleshooting:

Solution 1 – Are you seeing a message stating, ‘An invitation you sent wasn’t received’?

Well, if so, from your tree, right in the toolbar on the left side, you should click the ‘More (the three dots) icon and select ‘Tree Settings’. After that, you must select the ‘Invitations’ tab and ensure that the email address or username you entered is correct. If correct, you should select the ‘Reinvite’ option in the ‘Tools’ column. If you have sent the invitation using their username, it will go to the email address they registered with Ancestry. Moreover, you could also try and use another email address if their first one (or their username) does not work.

Solution 2 – ‘You did not receive an invitation someone sent to you’?

You should ensure that the person sending you the invitation has your email address or username correct. If they do, you can contact Ancestry directly to see if Ancestry might have been blocked from sending an email to your address.

After going through the above information and process, you should be satisfied and ready to manage the Sharing Ancestry Family Tree. Nevertheless, if you still need further guidance or details, you can always contact the well-trained and committed techs provided without a second thought. The team will surely be available to assist you accordingly in no time.

You can Contact our Family Tree Maker Support Number to resolve your issue. We provide phone support 24×7. The Family Tree Maker Support number is +1-888-257-3335.

FAQ

Question:- Can I download someone else’s family tree on Ancestry?

Answer:- If you are assigned as editor, you can. A guest or contributor will not be able to download the tree.

Question:- How do I add someone to my Ancestry tree?

Answer:- You can share using the ancestry tree sharing option.

How To Fix Displaying The Tree In Family View?

This blog has solutions for the Fix error in FTM 2019, displaying the tree family view. So, if you are one of those users who receives an error message while attempting to view a tree in family view, then you must face this issue due to the relationship in your tree.

This issue mainly occurs when the people in a tree are listed as marrying people to whom they are related.
The difference between a Family view and the pedigree view: Fix the error displaying a tree
In a family view, the tree has ancestors that extend upward and descendants that extend downward.
Now, the tree in a pedigree view has descendants extended to the left, and the ancestors are extended to the right side.

So when people have two roles in a family, the family tree tries inserting them into both roles. Then in the family view, you will get the result as either the ‘appearance of duplicates. In a tree or an error when displaying the tree together. So when an error occurs, you can opt to either switch the tree to a pedigree view. You can adjust the relationships in the tree. So, in this way, you will have the members related all in one way only.

How To Switch To A Pedigree View?

Suppose you do not have relationship mistakes and want to keep your tree just as it is. Then, you can only switch the tree to a pedigree view. All you’ve got to do is select the pedigree view by clicking on the link in the error message or just selecting the pedigree view button on the left.

Follow The Steps That Are Mentioned Below Properly To Fix the Error In The FTM 2019 View:

First, go to your tree and click on the ‘View the pedigree’ link or the pedigree button on the left.
Then, you need to click on a person whose relationship you want to change to find them in your tree. Finally, you have to click ‘Tree Search.’ You will see the way in the top right corner.
Now, after you click on the person, a menu will appear on the screen; you need to click on ‘Profile.’
At the top right corner of the respective profile page. You have to click the ‘Edit button and select ‘Edit Relationships.’
After that, right next to the relationship option. You will have to choose to disconnect, for which you must click on ‘X.’ You should know that detaching two people from each other does not remove any person from your tree; it only removes the connection between the two if you find that a person is listed as the mother of the other. And that their relationship was disconnected. Then, the mother would no longer appear as a parent for that particular child. Also, the child will no longer appear as a descendant of the mother.
And now, finally, from the menu that appears on the screen. You would have to click on the ‘Remove’ button.

When green windows appear. This means you should go ahead and start syncing your tree. This window appears if there is a future sync storm coming your way. When there is planned maintenance work that must be done, the green windows pop up while syncing

2. Orange: –

Orange windows appear when there is a warning or caution. You can sync, but the weather report messaging system lets you know about the possible problems ahead

3. Red: –

It appears when the sync is dangerous since the sync system is down. It also tells you about the current outage and does not allow you to sync because the system is down. It’s impossible until the syncing system is improved and outages are fixed.

Sync Weather Report Issues like:-

1—You may see some changes you haven’t made on the Ancestry site, particularly on your first sync.

2—Such issues are known and fatal. However, it may pick up some time stamps that tell you what has changed and report them as real changes.

Download & Install Family Tree Maker 2017

July 2, 2024July 2, 2024 by Andy Smith

In this blog, you will learn how to Install Family Tree Maker 2017. The earlier version of Family Tree Maker does not support ancestry. The features that connect Family Tree Maker to Ancestry are available in Family Tree Maker 2017, not with an older version. The features include syncing, hints, search, and merge options.

Are you using an older version? Now, you can upgrade your software without any hassles. You can also get a discount since you were using an older version. The actual price for the upgrade is $79.99 USD. However, if you are on the mailing list with Family Tree Maker, you are eligible for a $20 USD discount straight. If you do not wish to purchase ancestry, then you can use a free search service.

How To Install Family Tree Maker 2017?

You can click on the respective version link for Windows or Mac. Click on the downloaded file and run it or open it so your software can be installed. You will get steps to follow, and you can install Family Tree Maker.

What If I Lost My Older Version?

Don’t worry! I have encountered some users asking whether a Family Tree Maker 2017 upgrade requires them to install old FTM on the new machine if they are moving to a new PC and purchasing a new Family Tree Maker 2017 upgrade. The answer is a Big No. If you have not lost your data, follow the above steps and import your old data to the new FTM17.

One last but not the least point to make a note of. You don’t need to keep the old version on the machine, but if you want to keep it, you should save it into a different folder or maybe on any USB flash driver or Hard disk drive or on your cloud account, making sure you don’t confuse yourself with the old and new version.

How to Migrate to Family Tree Maker 2017

You must convert your old version software data. There are simple steps to migrate from an old version of Family Tree Maker to the latest FTM 2017. You can open Family Tree maker 2014.1 in FTM 2017 without any conversion. Please follow these steps. So you can move a tree from an older version to the latest version without any problem.

Step 1 – Open the tree that you want to move and choose the Backup option. Then, choose the backup location. If you want to back it up externally, then click on removable media like USB flash drive or Hard disk drive.

Step 2—To include items like photos or other media in the backup, make sure the media files checkbox is selected. If the current tree is linked to an online tree @ ancestry.com, you must select the allow the restored file to resume syncing checkbox. This helps you relink the tree automatically on a new PC.

Step 3 – Now open FTM 2017 and choose the restore option from the menu. Go to the folder/path where the backup file is located and open it. In the window that opens, enter the name, choose the location for the restored files, and click on save. In case your tree was previously linked, click on restore additional options, select the restored file to resume syncing, and hit ok. Once the tree is converted, click on Sync now. That’s all you will need to do. Now you can use your family tree maker.

Top 5 Unique Features of FTM 2019

July 3, 2024July 2, 2024 by Andy Smith

In Addition, we will discuss the Top 5 Unique Features of FTM 2019. Family Tree maker 2019 is the latest version that provides new features for our users.

Top 5 Unique Features of FTM 2019 :

1. Backing up trees

New Features of FTM: Your family trees are important; not only do they contain your family’s history, but they also represent hours of diligence. Creating regular backups to preserve the fruits of your labour is only in genealogy Software.

Here, you’ll learn more about the way to make a backup in Genealogy Maker. Then, if your original tree is broken, otherwise you want to revert to a previous copy. You’ll easily restore it from the computer file. Click here to ascertain the way to restore a tree from a backup.

If you use Family Tree Maker, then you get a plus point with this. Family Tree Maker automatically copies your tree whenever you exit the program.

2. Map creation and place management

While Ancestry allows you to view maps you’ve created using other software, with Genealogy Maker, you’ll create your own maps within the program itself, showing all the events that happened at a particular location. And therefore, the people related to each event.

You’ll create maps by plotting the migration routes of your ancestors. Revealing the journey your family has remodelled land and sea through the ages. To seek out more about creating Migration Maps, click here.

You can directly print maps of your family tree maker from the software. Only Family Tree Maker allows you to print maps directly from the software.

Another feature found only in Genealogy Maker is the ability to look at locations. Either in alphabetical order or grouped together by country, county, city, and then on within the Places workspace.

Once you have many places in your tree, it is much easier to quickly find the one you’re curious about. Another benefit is that you can simply see all the people who are related to a selected country.

Finally, if you’ve got the newest Windows version of Genealogy Maker, you’ll enjoy amazing 3D views from Bing™ Maps. This brings your ancestral homelands to life by letting you virtually visit each place in your tree.

For instance, you’ll see satellite images and maps of the town in Denmark. Where your grandfather was born, the apartment in Chicago. Where your great-grandparents lived, or maybe the lake where you went swimming together with your cousins every summer.

3. Organization of source citations

Family Tree Maker and Ancestry handle source citations differently. Whereas the web tree system restricts one citation to one person. Genealogy Maker allows one citation to be linked to facts for multiple people.

Furthermore, while you’ll view a source citation on Ancestry only, it’s included during a currently open fact. The Sources tab of Genealogy Maker allows you to look at and manage all the source citations within the entire tree in a single workspace.

4. Tools for cleaning up duplicate facts and sources

There are special tools you’ll use to look for and take away duplicate individuals both on Ancestry and in Genealogy Maker. Still, duplicate facts, sources, and source citations are often found and merged automatically only in FTM.

Unique Features of FTM 2019 :

5. Notes creation

On Ancestry, you’ll add personal notes. In Genealogy Maker, you’ll create a spread of notes: person, research, fact, relationship, media, and source citation. Once you upload a tree to Ancestry, only personal notes are going to be included; they can only be seen by people you’ve invited to look at your online tree.

6. More export options

If you would like to share your genealogy with someone or open it in other software, Ancestry.com allows you to export the entire tree in one GEDCOM format.
With Genealogy Maker, on the other hand, you can export all or simply a neighborhood of your tree in a choice of FTM and GEDCOM formats. However, we suggest you tailor what you export more closely to the requirements of the person you’re sharing with.

Exporting a selected branch of your genealogy is easy. Just go to the People workspace, select the person whose family you would like to export, right-click (Control-click on Mac), and choose Export Branch.

7. Merging of trees and branches

One of the Unique Features of FTM is the ability to merge one tree, or branch of a tree, with another. To seek out the way to merge trees in Genealogy Maker, click here (https://support.mackiev.com/401567-Merging-two-files-in-Family-Tree-Maker).

8. More printing options

However, Only Genealogy Maker features a direct link to Family Chart Masters for printing professional-quality, large-format charts. You’ll determine more here. However, genealogy Maker for Windows is additionally integrated with Charting Companion and Family Book Creator plug-in, offering you additional access to high-quality printing of various sorts of charts, reports, and books.

9. Unique set of tools

Family Tree Maker 2019 comes with a variety of handy, practical tools that will make the management of your tree even easier, including three different types of calculator (Date, Relationship, and Soundex), options to compact files, convert names, sort children by birthdate, and more.

10. Organization of labor

With the assistance of the Plan workspace, you’ll organize your work by creating and managing tasks, making the genealogy-building process even simpler and more efficient.

How to fix Syncing Problem on Family Tree Maker 2017 with Ancestry

July 3, 2024July 2, 2024 by Andy Smith

Last updated on July 3rd, 2024 at 04:56 am

In this blog, We have explained how to fix the Sync issue between Ancestry and FTM2017. Due to high traffic on the Family Tree Servers, sync may not happen. It may give you errors or slow down the sync process. So before you sync your tree, you must check the weather report. If it is green, then is the best time to sync,

When you face problems viewing the tree in Family Tree Maker 2017, you may also be unable to synchronize your trees. However, you can wait and try it later.

Sync Issue Between Ancestry And FTM2017:-

Internet Issues
Sync Change Log Issues
Software Issues
Media Sync Issues
Restore Issue
Re-Download Issue
Syncing FTM to Ancestry

Internet Issues

Various internet service providers have different connection speeds. The variation in internet speed may cause a problem with syncing, a natural phenomenon. There are three types of internet connections:

Dial-Up Connections – Slowest
Satellite Connections – Variation in speed
Cable Connections – Overall, good but may slow down during peak hours

So, opt for the best internet connections to ensure no issues.

Sync Change Log Issues

If you see that the change is enormous and that you did not make it in the Sync Change log window, you may better contact technical support for immediate help. Since our experts are well versed in such issues, they better determine what is going wrong.

Software Issues

Software like Antivirus, Firewall, or viruses may affect the sync on Family Tree Maker. Since this software checks on downloads and uploads while synchronizing Family Tree Maker, it may check on those downloads and uploads and hence may block the activity and result in an error. Therefore, you must contact technical support at once. This could be one of the Syncing Problems FTM 2017.

Media Sync Issues

Those beautiful and rare pictures of your ancestors and their stories in your family tree sync separately from the rest of the information. The more photos and stories there are, the longer the sync time will be. You can check the media download progress. It could be one of the problems synchronizing Family Tree Maker 2017.

The media in your tree file synchronizes separately from your tree data. Additionally, the more media you have in your tree, the longer you can complete synchronization. Even if you no longer see the Media Processing status bar at the top of Family Tree Maker, your media may still be synchronizing.

If you have bad media, it may interfere with sync.

You will have to go through the Media workspace in Family Tree Maker and check each file to see which one(s) caused the problem. After that, remove the file(s) from your media collection. This should fix the issue, and you will be able to sync your tree again.

Missing Media

You will have a sync error if you have missing media in your tree. Therefore, you must ensure you do not have missing media in your tree.

Restore Issue

The good practice of using the family tree maker is to back up the data periodically. The latest backup should be complete and frequent. For example, if you are persistently having a problem with syncing, go ahead and restore the most recent full backup.

Re-Download Issue

Do you not have a recent backup? Then, you can re-download your tree as a new one. For example, in one scenario, where there is information in your Family Tree Maker that has not yet synchronized, you have had to re-download the tree as a new FTM tree to fix the sync issue.

Syncing FTM to Ancestry

Let us say you can synchronize the information but not back it up, or you cannot upload and link your tree from within FTM. In this case, you must contact the FTM Technical Support Number to speak to the expert for the best solution.

You can Contact our Family Tree Maker Support Number to get your issue resolved. In addition, we provide phone support 24×7. The Family Tree Maker Support number is +1-888-257-3335. So you can call for help.

Backing Up a Tree File in FTM 2017 and FTM 2019

July 2, 2024July 1, 2024 by Andy Smith

Backup Family Tree Maker File

Do you want to learn how to back up the Family Tree Maker File in FTM 2017 and 2019? Well, then, the first and foremost thing that you should ever do is a full manual backup of your tree file; do it as often as you can. Having an up-to-date full backup helps to make sure that you can restore your tree anytime immediately; this includes media and the link to your online tree if you have one already.

Backup Family Tree Maker File

We never know when something unexpectedly goes wrong with the current file, supposing it gets corrupt suddenly, etc., so 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’. Although this is a sure-fire insurance policy in an uncertain situation, it is a possible event when a major hard crashes. 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:

You first need to make sure that the tree you want to back up is open, and then you should choose ‘File > Backup’. After that, you will see the ‘Backup the Tree’ dialogue open on your screen.

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: First, select the ‘Removable media’ option, and then, in the pop-up menu, 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.

Free Update 24.2.2 for FTM 2019

6. Follow by selecting the ‘Web Favourites’ checkbox to include all of the web addresses that you had added to the ‘Manage Favorites’ list on the ‘Web Search’ workspace.

7. Now, if you have the tree linked to an Ancestry tree, then you will need to select the ‘Allow restored file to resume syncing’ checkbox so the tree that is restored from the backup file can be synced with the Ancestry tree if required.

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 remember 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 which they were created or with a newer version of the app.

We hope that you find the above information useful and that you now know how to back up your family tree files easily and without any hassle. However, in case you encounter any glitches or have any related queries, you can contact Family Tree Maker Support at any time.

IMPORTANT: You also know that the application’s auto-backup does not contain media or the information required to relink your tree to Ancestry; therefore, you should not rely on them as your only backups.

Family Tree Maker 2019 is the most popular genealogy software. Many people use it. If you have any issues, you can contact the Family Tree Maker support number.

Find Missing Family Trees on Ancestry

May 8, 2024 by Andy Smith

In Addition, we will discuss how to Fix Missing Family Trees on Ancestry. Ancestry.com never removes your family trees, so if you create a tree on Ancestry and do not remove it yourself, you need to find it. If a part of your tree appears and a branch of your family tree is missing, you can follow the following steps.

Check your Missing Family Trees on Ancestry:-

Restoring the missing branch

· If the missing person says “potential father” or “potential mother,” click on the person, then click Review details.

· If it is the right person, click Yes at the bottom of the details panel. This should solve the problem. If the missing person does not say “potential father” or “potential mother,” If this does not solve the problem, proceed to the next step.

If the missing person says, “Add father” or “Add mother,” Or if it is the child of someone in your tree. If not a parent, click tree Search in the top-right corner.

In the panel that appears, enter the name of the missing person. If you do not know the disappeared person, select them from the list of people who occur instead of entering their name in the panel. Click the list of all people in the panel, then scroll through the list to find someone who may be the missing person.
If the missing person is male and a father, look for the same last name as their child.
If the person is female and a mother and you do not know her last name, figure out the decade when she would have been born (20 to 30 years before her child). Then, only look at women with birthdates around that time.
In your tree, click their name again, then click Profile.
In the Family column of their profile page, click + Add and select the person you want to connect to them. (For example, if you connect this person to their daughter, choose Daughter).
On the left side of the menu that appears, click Select someone in your tree.

Start typing the name of the person you want to connect with and click on it when it appears. Then click Save.

2. FTAnalyzer Errors And Fixes

Users can explore errors and fixes in Family Tree Analyzer. You will see possible mistakes in the Gedcom analyzer file, such as a cross (factual error) or a question (possible error). Here, you have the option of disregarding a particular type of error.

You can ask the system to ignore the errors, such as the birth before a mother was thirteen. Or the birth is more than nine months after the father’s death. There are other errors, too. For example, ‘couples with the surname’ indicates you have not yet found a maiden name for them. They have been listed with their married name at the current.

Tip: The best way to avoid such errors is to remember to follow up on the branches of the tree.

3. Facts About FTAnalyzer

The surnames and locations in the tree section are self-explanatory. However, it does provide an excellent overview, as you can export the data, e.g., onto an Excel spreadsheet, if you want to explore it later.

Census allows you to explore your ancestors. You can flag up your ancestors whose census report is not available. You can have the option to ignore the ancestors beyond a certain age, or you can select a particular census.

The dark red indicates that the person is known to have been alive when the census was taken.
The paler red color indicates that the person may have been alive.

4. Research Suggestions:

Census suggestions demonstrate that there are many ancestors for whom you may not have recorded any census information. The coloring system will show you that the ancestor was alive at the time of each census. In addition, you can click to find missing information in FamilySearch.

The summary suggestions of the birth, marriage, and death report include the following;

A person of marriageable age who has no spouse record
A person without a partner is a record who has children
The relationship between each person and you is the ‘root.’
People with that have an ‘open-ended’ date, e.g., reads ‘before the xx’ or ‘after the xx.’
Lost cousins

So, the above information is relevant to guide you with the Family Tree Analyzer. Nevertheless, contact the technicians for further queries at the Family Tree Maker Support Number +1-888-257-3335.

Ancestry Media Sync Issues On Family Tree Maker 2019

July 8, 2024May 7, 2024 by Andy Smith

Last updated on July 8th, 2024 at 06:37 am

Ancestry Media Sync Issues:- If you are experiencing sync issues between Family Tree Maker and Ancestry, try logging out and back in, syncing smaller portions of your tree, merging duplicate entries, or contacting Ancestry customer support. Additionally, it’s important to back up your family tree data regularly.

How do you fix the Ancestry Media Sync Issue with your Family Tree Maker?

Solution 1.

Suppose you added your media directly to your Ancestry tree on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. After you synced, it may have caused proxies in your FTM tree for the items.

However, this did not happen when you added media to your FTM tree. This only affected the user-contributed press, unlike the source media, such as census images.

Other Ancestry source images are downloaded through different procedures that Ancestry says are unaffected, so if you have added your media to an Ancestry tree between Thursday & Saturday (causing you to end up with proxies in your FTM for those elements).

Delete those elements from the Ancestry tree. Then, you need to reattach them and sync them.

Solution 2.

If you have missing media in your tree, you may get a media sync error. Please find all the lost media and attach them to the existing person. Once you reattach all the missing media, you should process the sync.

Are You Still Facing Ancestry Media Sync Issues?

If the above method does not work, you may need to restore the last backup when your ancestry sync works. If nothing works, you must contact the tech and get help through ‘Live Chat.’

How To Get Through A Direct Live Chat?

To resolve the syncing issues, you can directly Chat with the available agents, and they will help you accordingly. However, you need to read the sync through the recommended troubleshooting steps to prepare for your chat session.

You need to first go to the support.familytreemaker.com link. Then, on the search field, enter ‘Sync’ and press to return. Next, you got to read the articles on Sync Best Practices and troubleshooting.

Now, on the search field, enter the ‘Live Chat.’ Go to open the Live Chat article. This blog has a direct line to go to Live Chat along with the timings when the desk is open for a Live Chat.
