[AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[leonor . bertoni]

I seem to remember someone asking about last names on FTM and some 
instructions being given. I have, accidentally, found some other usual 
information that I do not think was included at the time. If this is all 
stuff that is already well know, I apologize.

It was mentioned before that you need to put backslashes around the last 
name on names that have da, do, de so that it uses only the name after the 
da, do, de as the last name Joao da Costa, I would enter Joao da /Costa/. 
You can also put it at the end of the name to show that there isn't a last 
name, for example; Maria de Jesus, I enter Maria de Jesus // this keeps the 
whole thing as a first name. This saves me from going back and editing all 
the "de something" names.
It does not matter where the name is, if you put the backslashes around it, 
it automatically becomes a last name, this is useful if there is a known 
"apelido". For example; Joao Soares Manteiga, I know that Manteiga was an 
apelido but sometimes it is used as a last name by some of his relatives. I 
enter it as Joao /Soares/ Manteiga. This will sort the name by Soares not 
by Manteiga, but Manteiga will still show. 
I have had a situation where I uploaded my FTM tree to Ancestry and all my 
ancestors come up as "living" because there isn't a "deceased" option on 
FTM. I now just enter "unknown" in the death field. This marks them all 
deceased on Ancestry.

I've been using the FTM 2005 version since it's release. I recently bought
the 2017 .

Not a Fan. A waste of $79.  Very difficult to navigate and I feel poorly
designed.

The only improvement was the ability to create a PDF that was lacking in
the 2005.

I don't want to link every tree I have to Ancestry, so they can throw a
thousand useless "hints" at me.

I'm back to using 2005 for my daily work.

Liz, 

I have Family Tree Maker, and I have not had any problems. One of the best 
features of the Software MacKiev version is that it is possible to link more 
than one family tree to Ancestry. The color coding is also a useful.

Liz,
As far as I remember, some had problems and some didn't.

As for a recommendation, you will have to get what you like and what
appeals to you. I could tell you about this great restaurant by my house,
but my neighbor may tell you it was lousy.

You didn't say what FTM version you had. Kathy Cardoza evaluated one of the
versions. It's in the archive. She probably labeled it pretty clearly, so
if you search for "Family Tree Maker" and see the post was by Kathy
Cardoza, that's the one you want.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family tree maker upgrade

[John Athayde]

They’ve been working with Ancestry to work out some of the kinks in the new 
FamilySync. I’ve been using it without issue for the last few beta versions. 
They said they were having some issues with very large trees still, but 
otherwise it’s been pretty smooth for me. Syncing is incredibly fast now. 

If you decide to try it, just create a full backup of your FTM files first. 

I’m using this on macOS, so I can’t speak to it’s stability or issues on 
Windows. I would assume it would be roughly the same, however. 

Cheers,
John Athayde

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

[Cheri Mello]

Actually, as computers evolved from 32bit to 64 bit the industry had to
create programs for the 64 bit. It's the evolving technology. For awhile
there, a way existed to trick the 64 bit into pretending it was a 32 bit. I
can't remember the particulars. It was in a computer class that I took some
years ago. I'm sure that's what the Geek Squad did for you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

['Ralph Sellars' via Azores Genealogy]

To clarify my post below I will point out I am not computer literate.  For that 
reason I maintain an annual subscription to Best Buy's "Geek Squad" 
professional computer service.  
I believe they were able to convert my 32 bit FTM version 2006 (that's  the 
version that my opening page of my current FTM program still shows)  to run on 
a 64 bit computer.  
My under standing is that Ancestry purchased the rights to FTM about Version 
2006.   During their early ownership they maintained and created changes to the 
program up to about version 8 or 9.  Being uncomfortable with some of the 
changes, I stopped upgrading at Version 2006 and went back to my backup 2006 
version.
My understanding is that Ancestry then developed a completely new and different 
genealogy program (app?).  At some point they developed a conversion program 
for FTM 32 bit to FTM  64 bit.  
When my old computer died, Ancestry had already moved ahead to either Version 
11 or 12. and were no longer supporting FTM 32 OR the conversion program.  In 
working with Ancestry my Geek Squad   agent was able to establish that if I was 
willing to pay for the upgrades of my Version 2006 to Ancestry's Version 
(?)2009 they could convert my Version 2006 (now actually 2009)  to run on a 64 
bit computer. 
So I am now running with some of Ancestry's upgrades that I originally tried to 
avoid but its a small price to pay as I still essentially have the old 
Broderbund program.

Elaine:
Welcome to the Club !
I dropped FTM "Ancestry" when Ancestry started making complicated changes to 
it.   One example: recording of sources !
I bought and have the full Roots Magic version 7  and Legacy 8.0 version's and 
found them both far more complex and difficult to load.  I found these are both 
good and worth while products and have helpful staffing but having FTM I find 
they are more complex than I need. 
So to make a long story short after a lot of blood. sweat, and tears, and my 
Geek Squad help,  I have reverted back to my FTM version 2006.   It still works 
fine,  full fills my every need, is simple, self intuitive, so I intend to keep 
it as long as it works. 
My distress was created when my 32 bit computer died and I had to buy a new 
one.  At that point in time all new computers were 64 bit.  My FTM would not 
run on 64 bit so I had to upgrade FTM to 64.  When Ancestry purchased FTM they 
developed a conversion program.  When my computer died they had developed their 
own new version FTM and no longer supported the original FTM they purchased or 
the conversion program.  Fortunately, my local Geek Squad were able to find a 
way they had made the conversion in the past and were able to upgrade my copy 
of FTM to 64 bit.  
I have been using it since about 1990 . 
In 2004 I used it to publish a158 page Genealogical History of my Sellars 
Family Titled  "NEWFOUNDLAND SELLARS  Facts and/or Hearsay" using Family Tree 
Maker V10.  This version of FTM not only  developed the individual reports and 
charts it created an all name index and identified every page the individual 
was noted on, it collated the reports and numbered the pages consecutively 
starting with the table of contents through the dedication, preface, 
acknowledgements, introduction and all the various reports and charts I elected 
to use.  What more do I need ?  Nothing.  It is a GREAT PROGRAM ! (?App.?)
Copies have been distributed to many public entities, including public 
libraries, historical societies, and town halls, which have been helpful to me 
in collection of data. It is now out of print. 
I would hope that some entity would take an interest in that original 
Broderbund program and maintaining the original self intuitive program concepts 
windows, etc., make and maintain the program to do things like making FTM run 
on a 64 bit program rather than earlier 32 bit  or 16 bit program  or earlier.
I have heard that some company may have purchased from Ancestry the rights to 
FTM ?   Which FTM ?
If any one on the list knows who the company is,  or what the current status is 
I would hope they could share that information with those of  us who are caught 
in this difficult position. 
Good luck in your search.

Hi Sam, 

Even though they don't have an official release date, if your program is having 
problems you can let them know and they will advise you on what to do. When 
they got back to me, they said my program needed to be updated and sent me the 
instructions. Because I was using Mac 3, I qualified for the free upgrade. 
There are options to run it on 3 family computers for a cost. I use it on one, 
so I have no experience with the family share.  Very happy so far.

they got back to me, they said my program needed to be updated and sent me the 
instructions. Because I was using Mac 3, I qualified for the free upgrade. 
There are options to run it on 3 family computers for a cost. I use it on one, 
so I have no experience with the family share.  Very happy so far.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - NeedInfo on New Program

['Denise' via Azores Genealogy]

They were very quick to respond and I had these issues for so ling and now it's 
working well again and I am so happy. I have a very large tree that kept 
freezing and also when I typed in location names I would get the hourglass and 
it would take so long. All is good now and I'm very happy so far. 


I think you will find your issues resolved or can report it and they can look 
into it. 


Good luck!!

Denise,


Thank you.  While playing around I did see something about free  and three 
computers (I have FTM on 2) and will look into it further when they reply to my 
question about my current FTM 16 (2006) that will not keep my Edit/Notes as I 
really, really, really use this function and I hope their new program will 
solve the problem for me.  I want to do this asap before something else

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

['Denise' via Azores Genealogy]

Hi Elaine,


The upgrade to MacKiev is free for existing customers. Go to their website and 
click around for what you need. http://www.mackiev.com/


What I did was explain the issues I was having and my email was answered within 
1 day. They provided me with the information I needed to download the upgrade 
file. It took about 5 minutes to do. I like the FTM software and I am so glad 
that they took over and addressed issues. The problems I was having are gone 
with the upgrade.


Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

[Cheri Mello]

Ralph,
As Denise posted, it's MacKiev who now publishes or owns Family Tree Maker.
They plan on keeping it current, which would be Windows 10, 64 bit. And the
same would be for the Mac version with their current Mac OS.

I'm not a computer programmer, but as technology improves, the programs
need to change with them. No company is going to spend the time in
developing a program to work on a 16 bit computer. I can't remember, but
that may be DOS days, without any type of Graphic User Interface (GUI).
It's like cars today. Many don't even need you to put a key in the
ignition. You just need that key fob with you and you push a button to
start the car. Should these car manufacturers have an ignition key as well?
And if they have the keyless with a push button and an key for the ignition
to start the car, why not include that crank to start the car (from the
1920s or something)? And and and and. Lots of technologies have changed
over time: the telephone, stoves/ovens/microwaves, washing machines, lots
of things. I don't know a single person who prefers to wash their clothes
on a wash board. I never hear anyone lamenting about wanting the old
telephone exchanges back. "Hello, operator, give me Thorndale-4567." Yeah,
it's annoying when a change comes in and time needs to be spent in learning
something new. We don't always like change and we grumble about it, but
it's technology and it will continue to evolve.

My genealogy program is "The Master Genealogist" (TMG). It is no longer
published. Is it on this new computer? Yes, I was able to load it and get
it to work *most* of the time (sometimes it doesn't load correctly into
Windows 10). Am I going to be using it in 5 years? Probably not, but I'd
like to. I know that there's some people in Australia working on making a
new one but they are a couple of years away. However, I have both Legacy
and RootsMagic on my computer and I periodically play around with them too.
The day TMG quits working I'll need to have a plan ready to go. And yes, I
have a preference of one over the other. It's my preference though. People
just need to pick the genealogy program that suits them best. That is the
best genealogy program for them.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

['Ralph Sellars' via Azores Genealogy]

Elaine:
Welcome to the Club !
I dropped FTM "Ancestry" when Ancestry started making complicated changes to 
it.   One example: recording of sources !
I bought and have the full Roots Magic version 7  and Legacy 8.0 version's and 
found them both far more complex and difficult to load.  I found these are both 
good and worth while products and have helpful staffing but having FTM I find 
they are more complex than I need. 
So to make a long story short after a lot of blood. sweat, and tears, and my 
Geek Squad help,  I have reverted back to my FTM version 2006.   It still works 
fine,  full fills my every need, is simple, self intuitive, so I intend to keep 
it as long as it works. 
My distress was created when my 32 bit computer died and I had to buy a new 
one.  At that point in time all new computers were 64 bit.  My FTM would not 
run on 64 bit so I had to upgrade FTM to 64.  When Ancestry purchased FTM they 
developed a conversion program.  When my computer died they had developed their 
own new version FTM and no longer supported the original FTM they purchased or 
the conversion program.  Fortunately, my local Geek Squad were able to find a 
way they had made the conversion in the past and were able to upgrade my copy 
of FTM to 64 bit.  
I have been using it since about 1990 . 
In 2004 I used it to publish a158 page Genealogical History of my Sellars 
Family Titled  "NEWFOUNDLAND SELLARS  Facts and/or Hearsay" using Family Tree 
Maker V10.  This version of FTM not only  developed the individual reports and 
charts it created an all name index and identified every page the individual 
was noted on, it collated the reports and numbered the pages consecutively 
starting with the table of contents through the dedication, preface, 
acknowledgements, introduction and all the various reports and charts I elected 
to use.  What more do I need ?  Nothing.  It is a GREAT PROGRAM ! (?App.?)
Copies have been distributed to many public entities, including public 
libraries, historical societies, and town halls, which have been helpful to me 
in collection of data. It is now out of print. 
I would hope that some entity would take an interest in that original 
Broderbund program and maintaining the original self intuitive program concepts 
windows, etc., make and maintain the program to do things like making FTM run 
on a 64 bit program rather than earlier 32 bit  or 16 bit program  or earlier.
I have heard that some company may have purchased from Ancestry the rights to 
FTM ?   Which FTM ?
If any one on the list knows who the company is,  or what the current status is 
I would hope they could share that information with those of  us who are caught 
in this difficult position. 
Good luck in your search.

 FTM support is supposed
 to end the end of the year.  I have FTM 16.  Has anyone
 changed to a different program or the new company who is
 supposed to take over FTM users? Any other program to make
 an easy switch?  I am looking for an easy switch and how to
 do it and what I will and/or will not lose. Remember, I am

I started with PAF. When they stopped supporting it I used the Essential 
Version of Roots Magic. I have since bought the software and have *NEVER* 
had an issue. Roots Magic also has a FaceBook page with plenty of people 
ready and willing to assist you if you should any questions and they let 
you know about any updates.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

[Theresa Entin]

Hello, to all of the people who are using Family Tree Maker,  I have used it 
for many years and just recently learned of something in the program that 
usually fixes any of the glitches it has.  Also, on Facebook they have a Family 
Tree Maker page that gives advice and also updates to it.

This is the thing that you should do often with the FTM program.  Under the 
TOOLS pull down menu, there is a COMPACT FILE.  You should compact the file if 
the program crashes, or if you are having issues with uploading it to Ancestry. 
 Or just as a good thing to do.

When you compact the file, it will give you a % of space it compacted.  It 
should compact to 0.0%.  You may have to compact the file a couple of times.  
Even though I compact all the time now, I usually have to do it 2 times before 
I get it 0.0%.

If you use Facebook, it is a good page to join because the programers from 
MacKiev monitor it and answer very quickly if you have an issue.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM16 support ending - Need Info on New Program

["E" Sharp]

Celeste and others,

I contacted MacKiev and filled in a form and it looks like I can upgrade
from FTM 16 to their new version for $29.95.  ​JR thanks for reminding me
to backup my files, maybe twice, before I do anything else.

Will let you know how it goes.

[JR]

You can try Roots Magic 7. It's free for the Essential Version. It's not 
what you are used to, but it is easy to use and will import FTW files 
without errors. That's important and better than importing a Gedcom file. 
Legacy is also easy to use. Just be sure back up your files unto a flash 
drive or CD or both!

I have FTM 3 for Mac. I just updated with MacKiev, that's who has taken over 
FTM. I had no problem with the upgrade and plan to continue with FTM.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker to be Continued and With More Options Than Ever Before

[Cheri Mello]

OK, here's the announcement about Family Tree Maker (FTM - it's genealogy
software for your computer):
http://goo.gl/AA7Ln4
And here's background on MacKiev: http://goo.gl/EVBXrB

Dick Eastman is probably at RootsTech in Salt Lake right now. If not, I
know a couple of list members are there.

I guess we will see how this all unfolds by the end of the year. It sounds
like both FTM and RootsMagic will sync with Ancestry. I guess folks will
have to play wait and see.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker to be Continued and With More Options Than Ever Before

[Kathy Cardoza]

E

Don’t want to rain on your parade, but MacKiev is NOT a genealogy company. They 
have other software but I don’t believe any of it is genealogy related. I would 
be very wary of that situation. Those folks are probably not genealogists who 
have done research and can be supportive in that regard. RootsMagic is a 
program I’ve used, both Mac and PC. It is not my favorite, but if the Ancestry 
connection is important to you, then you may be happy with either of these two 
choices. Food for thought.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[Marilyn Thompson]

Another thought about a software program. Many of the current programs like
Ancestral Quest and Roots Magic have simplified version online that are
free to download. These free downloads do not have all the bells and
whistles the full programs have, but they should let you merge two GEDCOMS.

You should be able to go through and eliminate the duplicates.

Just an idea

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[Cheri Mello]

Family Tree Maker is no longer being made. Support will continue through
December 31st of this year, however.

I'd make a Gedcom of your tree from Ancestry and send it to mom. Mom should
also download a Gedcom of her tree. Then she should start a new file,
family, project (whatever it is called in FTM) and merge the 2 Gedcoms
together and then begin the clean up process (you guys probably did data
entry differently). After you have it the way you like it, upload it to
Ancestry in place of one of the trees and eliminate the other tree.

You mom can make a Gedcom of the merged tree and send it to you. If you
want to open it or view it though, you will need a genealogy software
program to do that. If you are mom's backup copy, then you are fine.

Gedcom directions (both uploading and downloading) are here:

[AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[Adair Borba]

Hi All,

I would appreciate some advice on a strong project of which I need help. 

My Mother and I have separate trees on Ancestry.  It is time to combine the 
trees, and I understand from Ancestry that this can be done by Family Tree 
Maker.  My Mother has it installed on her desktop, but I do not, and I do not 
have the software. 

This means the merge will have to take place on her computer, however the ideal 
objective is to have the merged tree on my computer.

I feel we should hire an expert to facilitate the merge, thereby eliminating 
the cost of maintaining the 2 trees.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Adair Borba

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM 16 Problem

['Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy]

"E",
The compatibility mode should be used for installation.  The setup files (if on 
CD) will need to be copied to your hard drive before you can change the 
properties as instructed below.  You might also select to run as administrator 
(another checkbox) just to make sure things go smoothly (fewer prompts for 
permission).
Run the installation program in compatibility mode:1. Right-click the 
installation file's icon.2. Click Properties > Compatibility .3. Select the 
compatibility mode for Windows XP.4. Click OK .5. Run the installation program.
After it's installed, run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode by doing 
the same with the installed program (right-click on the shortcut for FTM).
Hopefully you've already solved this.

Celeste and Mike,

Thank you for your replies.  I purchased this Windows 7 computer
because it has 32 and 64 bit and 32 supports FTM 16.  It was working
fine before the mishap.  Funny, when I use my old laptop with FTM 16
installed there is no such message and the program comes up (I have
not updated the info to my old computer since I purchased my new one a
year and a half ago and I will do thi stomorrow using my backup drive,
just in case I run into this problem again.

We have a couple of things we are going to explore and will try again
tomorrow and if all else fails, I will call FTM and Staples is just
down the street :-) but we would like to try and figure this out
ourselves.one forgetful senior leading another forgetful senior.

 Pam S,

 I'm not sure about FTM.

 I take the other file and import it as it's own file/family/project.
 After making sure the data entry is the same as mine, I save it again.
 Then I go to File >Import and it asks if I want to merge that file with my
 own.

 Somewhat over simplistic.  You can make a file/family/project with one
 obvious person (Bugs Bunny) and try a merge with him.  That way, you only
 have to delete one "person" if you don't do the import right.

I like Cheri's answer about Bugs Bunny. Do a few others with some sort of
flag of the same name but different information, too. I would do it with

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker Merging

[Cheri Mello]

Pam S,

I'm not sure about FTM.

I take the other file and import it as it's own file/family/project.  After
making sure the data entry is the same as mine, I save it again.  Then I go
to File >Import and it asks if I want to merge that file with my own.

Somewhat over simplistic.  You can make a file/family/project with one
obvious person (Bugs Bunny) and try a merge with him.  That way, you only
have to delete one "person" if you don't do the import right.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker Merging

[Pam Santos]

Is it possible to merge one file into another Tree or file? I have been
doing a friend of mines genealogy (azores) she connects to my kids. In
other words I do not want to have to manually type in 68 pages of ancestors.

Great find!  Yes, if the record has an image associated with it, then story 
view can allow viewing of the image.  The index data, however, is not visible.  
Still, it is something.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[João Ventura]

Hi Bill,

Yes, this is what annoys me about the "Great Paywall of Ancestry.com". 
There was recent discussion here in the group about a public 
library-sponsored research that's going into Ancestry.com, and nobody 
flinched at the fact that all this content will be "offered" to them for 
resale to other members.

I'm not and will probably never will be their client. A word to all of you 
that are. Try using mundia.com. You may find that a lot of what you're 
paying for to access other's research is actually available for free.

I emailed them and complained lol  Yeah my tree is private you can also
block it from coming up in others search. I do not do that. I had 2 other
trees on there and removed them a few months ago.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[Bill Boyd]

Pam,

Yes, it comes and goes.  For a time, recently, I could view my ancestry sourced 
records.  I thought, "wow, they are finally getting a clue!".  Then, about two 
weeks ago, it stopped working again.  They are very inconsistent.  If I pay to 
access records, they should remain open to me through their interface.

The one that really gets me is that they charge for access to member posted 
content.  I recently found the probate records for my great great grandfather 
(he died intestate).  This has been key since we have no other records 
indicating his death.  The final settlement includes all living children and 
the children of those that had already passed (if they had heirs).  A real boon 
for researchers!  In any case, the records came from FamilySearch and were 
free.  They were NOT indexed and it took me a while of cross referencing to 
find them (I'm still missing one inventory, but that's another story).  So, I 
post this to Ancestry.com.  Anybody who wants to add these records MUST be a 
paying subscriber.  In effect, Ancestry is reselling my work.  My results will 
show up in searches for "William Hardin Hickman", but they must pay to see my 
translation and attach the record.  This really burns me!  Not only do I not 
get access to other records, but I
 must pay to collaborate with other researchers on Ancestry.  Makes me mad 
enough to take my tree private!  I really need to find an easy way to post my 
full tree, with records, for public consumption.

Sorry, I get a bit hot about Ancestry.com even though I'm a user.

I should point out that you can view saved records now.  I dont know if its 
intentional, but you can now view and save records in "story view."

They must of changed it because before you could view it. But doesn't
matter as long as you merge the document (census) to you family tree maker
you can always view it. But still they shouldn't restrict you from viewing
something that you paid for when you were subscribed.

* This is a big one!  If you don't have a subscription with Ancestry, they
will not let you view records you have ALREADY attached. This bugs me to no
end!  They will, however, continue to sell your pictures and records to
only subscribers. So, the sync with FTM gives you access to your Ancestry
records when not subscribed.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[Bill Boyd]

I use both Ancestry and Family Tree Maker. Cheri is correct for the overall, 
but there are some things to be aware of:

* The sync doesn't get everything on ancestry. For example, all of the data 
associated with documents and headstones does not come down to FTM. If I have 
text in the translation field on ancestry, it never appears in FTM. 

* Things change more frequently in the cloud (Ancestry). They are very 
regularly trying new things. Some things disappear completely. For example, I 
spent a lot of time tagging faces in pictures only to have the feature, and 
data, disappear. Better to just describe in notes. 

* They are constantly breaking the sync feature. This generally corrupts the 
FTM file. I don't mind as much since my "master" is always the cloud copy. 

* As Cheri states, I like "owning" the data. Should Ancestry disappear or 
crash, I can continue (with diminished data). Also, I periodically let my 
subscription expire and turn to free services. It forces me to look elsewhere 
for a time. I find newspapers and browsing images on familysearch very 
worthwhile. 

* This is a big one!  If you don't have a subscription with Ancestry, they will 
not let you view records you have ALREADY attached. This bugs me to no end!  
They will, however, continue to sell your pictures and records to only 
subscribers. So, the sync with FTM gives you access to your Ancestry records 
when not subscribed. 

* Try the different Ancestry access points (web, iPhone, Android) every now and 
then. They often screw up security on upgrades and provide free record access 
for a time.  Also, the iPhone (right now) allows individual record purchases 
for $1.99. Not cheap, butter better than paying for a month for 1 or 2 records. 

* Some records are FREE no matter you subscription status. No, Ancestry does 
not make it obvious which records!  Anything from the 1940 census, find a 
grave, billion graves, and many others, are always free. You'll have to develop 
a list. If you select a premium record, just back up from the prompt to

Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

On Ancestry, you can keep your genealogy in the cloud, on their servers.
With Family Tree Maker, you will have your own genealogy software on your
computer (back it up yourself). It has a lot more bells and whistles than
Ancestry. It can also sync with Ancestry as well.

Pam,

I have upgraded. The big difference is a tree view like the online ancestry.com 
site. I was hoping the improved tree sync would now also get more detailed 
media information. Unfortunately, it does not. Document transcripts, for 
example, do not come down to FTM. 

Quite honestly, I'm not convinced it is worthwhile. Perhaps I'll find 
something, but after a week I'm not sure. Is there something you really want in 
the new version?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

[want2beunique]

Not specific to the Azores, but a handy tip I recently came across for 
those using Family Tree Maker and synchronizing with Ancestry.com.  I 
mainly use it to have a copy of my ancestry.com tree, sources and media on 
a local system where I control the data.  Yes, I'm afraid of "clouds" ;-)

To ensure all of your media is downloaded to Family Tree Maker, go to the 
"Media" section by selecting it in the ribbon bar.  Then hit
(the "<" and ">" indicate that these are two keys and not "ctrlf5" typed as 
individual letters/numbers).  You will be prompted to download all media 
from your ancestry.com synchronized tree or only search for anything that 
is missing.  I would do it all first and then the delta option later.  It 
pulled down a lot of media for me!

Pam,

I just realized that I'm using FTM 2012, not FTM 2011.  Maybe that's why my
instructions aren't working for you.  Suggestion:  Download the Companion
Guide for your version, offered free as a pdf document.  You can find the
link under the Help menu.

Good luck,

Pam, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but you can customize
the boxes for all females by clicking the word "females" (under boxes in
the Box, Border and Line Options window) and then selecting a border color
and then a fill and shadow color, if desired.  The default for all three of
these is "None."  Then go down a line, click on "males," and make
additional selections.  There are other options, as well.

 I use FTM 2011, although I don't print trees very often.  However, I
 think the "box and line styles" settings under "Pedigree Chart Options"
 might be the place to specify borders and colors for boxes for females and
 males.  This would be on your screen to the right of the actual chart, and
 it allows you to customize the appearance of the boxes.  After you enter
 your preferences for females, go down and do the same for males.  You can
 have females with red borders and males with blue borders, etc.  This just
 controls the appearance; all ancestors, male and female, will appear in the
 tree.  I don't know how to make it print just male or female.

 Hope this helps a little.

Okay so before I had upgraded to Family Tree Maker 2011, I was able to print
a tree with boxes on both male and females. Now it only does either male or
female not both.  Does anyone know how to change this?

I have to be careful with these tech words.
Update:  Brings it up to date.  Such as version 1.1 is now 1.2 (many times
these are free).
Upgrade:  New version.  1.x is now 2.0 (usually you pay for them).

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker 2012 (genealogy software program)

[Richard Francis Pimentel]

Hi Maria,

 

I don't think this is a free upgrade. Family Tree Maker keeps milking this
money cow by adding these newer versions which to me are no real
improvements over the previous versions. I am sure they will send you an
email and offer the newer version at a reduced amount and tell you all about
it. The version I liked the best was the FTM 16. Since then all their
changes seemed to be pointed toward their on line site, services and sharing
which I do not care about.

Do u know if they update if you already have FTM?  I have it but I also have
and use Legacy.  However, I have wished my sons would also purchase Legacy
so they can see what I have entered and other fam members as well.  

 

It looks like my personal info on  FTM can be seen by others whom I
designate.  I'm wondering if I should attempt exporting into it if they do
free update.  I'll check on Internet.  Good info- thanks.

I think the Mac and the Windows versions are pretty darn similar.  Maybe a
couple of things are filed differently under the menus.

This new version is no longer the Family Tree Maker I know.   It is a 
completely different software package.  I recognized none of the familiar 
windows of my previous versions.  
 
The old standard "Family View" is gone. In its place appears to be  a totally 
different view containing some 6 (or more, depending on what you count as a 
window) different windows crunched on to one screen.  Visualize, an index 
window on the left side, a primary individual window on the right side, an 
ancestor chart window at the center top, a children's list at the center 
bottom, with two or three windows between the center top and bottom who's 
function I have not yet figured out.  One says Henry & Joan (who I don't 
recognize), another says "Add Parents" yet it shows the birth and death of the 
primary individual shown in the right side window ? and a window titled 
"Marriage" which appears to be a repeat that is in the primary individual 
window!
 
The application that I received I do not consider an upgrade, or version of the 
Family Tree Maker.   It is a completely new and different program that neither 
looks even similar or works like or similar to the former Family Tree Maker.  
It may well be a better program but it is misleading to say the least,  to 
label it as what was once known  formally as the " #1-selling family history 
software" .  It will take this individual a long and steep learning curve to be 
able to use, let alone be comfortable with, this totally new rewritten and 
different program. 

For Christmas I received a 130 page history of the  "French Family 1555-1995" 
by Eleanor M. Crouch.  After two days of attempting to record new information 
in the new software application I have reverted back to my old 2005 version of 
"Family Tree Maker"
 
So if you are considering buying or upgrading to Family Tree Maker by 
Ancestry.com be aware it is very very different from the Family Tree Maker 
programs published from about 1992 through 2005

I have used many genealogy programs over the years, both for Macs and for PCs 
and own several for both platforms. Reunion (Mac) has generally been my program 
of choice, though, as it is generally a very fine program, thorough, and easy 
to work with. I am always intrigued by trying out new programs, looking for 
that "perfect" one. To that end, I recently purchased FTM for the Mac and have 
been working with it this last week. This is not a complete review, but is only 
my first impressions of the program, both pro and con. I hope it will be 
helpful to you if you are considering purchasing it.

First of all, there are two versions of this program . One, for $69 is sold 
directly from Ancestry http://store.ancestry.com/ProductDetail.aspx?P=P-4845. 
The other version sells for $99 but includes a Toolkit of 6 PDF books that may 
or may not be helpful to you. It also includes a 6 month membership to the U.S. 
collection on Ancestry. Before I purchased mine, I called Ancestry to find out 
if I could apply that additional 6 months to my current Ancestry subscription 
and was told Yes. I purchased my copy at Office Max, but it is also sold at 
Best Buy, Office Depot, Amazon, and Apple stores. After I purchased and 
registered it, I called Ancestry and they added 6 months to my subscription. 
That, alone, is worth the additional $30, in my opinion!

I first prepared a gedcom in Reunion of my 9,000+ individuals and imported it 
into FTM. That process went very smoothly and quick. As most everyone knows (or 
should know) gedcom is NOT a perfect process, nor do you get perfect results. 
This was no exception. (Also, because I store my genealogy files in Dropbox and 
share them with both my computers, I changed the default place FTM wanted to 
put my file, to my Dropbox.)

The program feels pretty Mac-like, in general. One thing I noticed right off, 
though, was that, after the import, I clicked the button to View the Log. 
and it opened up Parallels on my Mac to go into the Windows XP System that I 
run on my Mac! OopsNot very Mac friendly there and bad first impression.  :)

Gedcom import:  Generally, most things were handled

Great information Kathy, I hope you gave this to Ancestry for  
improvement feedback!

into the Windows XP System that I run on my Mac! OopsNot very  
Mac friendly there and bad first impression.  :)


Gedcom import:  Generally, most things were handled very well in  
the import. Notable exceptions were that many of my Misc. Event  
tags in Reunion (gedcom tag was EVEN) did not survive the import.  
Those included events such as Illness, Accident, Surgery, Register  
to Vote, and Fraternal Society Joined events that I added  
myself into Reunion and had given the EVEN gedcom tag. When I  
realized this, I had to mark those individuals in Reunion and add  
those Facts (as FTM calls them) into FTM one by one. I am still in  
the process of doing this but am getting close to being finished  
with it.


Notes:  I use quite a few Notes in Reunion and have added my own  
with the gedcom tag of NOTE; Census (where I record the entire  
household for each census), Probate, and Military as well as the  
default one for each individual of Misc. Notes.  It seems that only  
one Note was imported for each person so if they had a Military  
note, for example, you will have to manually add that into FTM as  
part of your Military Fact for that person.


Facts:  FTM calls everything a Fact. There is a very large Note  
field attached to each Fact. I do not know if there is a character  
limit to this field as there is in Reunion (which is rather small).  
It is a very large field for adding data so there is plenty of room  
to add in your Note data from Reunion. When you publish a report  
such as an Individual Person Report, these Fact Notes don't appear  
immediately below the Fact data (date and place) but instead are  
gathered at the end of the report. I didn't like that at first,  
preferring to have ALL the pertinent data including the Memo/Note,  
all together with the event data. But, after working with this for  
a while, I see the merits of having that Note data appear at the  
end of the report (before Sources, if you choose to include them).  
You have an uncluttered view of all the Facts (Events) in a  
person's life, shown as a concise list at the beginning of the  
report. It makes it easy to view those events but if you want more  
info on each one, you can refer to the end of the report where that  
data appears.


Sources:  FTM has a set of templates included for adding specific  
source types. I haven't done a lot of these so far so I can't  
really give you much feedback on it as of yet. At first glance,  
though, it seems to be somewhat limited for templates. The Source  
View, though, is very complete. You can click on one of your  
sources on the left side and immediately see all the source  
citation detail as well as the links (the people or event it is  
being used on) and the media attached to it. Very nice! You can  
also rate

I have used many genealogy programs over the years, both for Macs and for PCs

of choice, though, as it is generally a very fine program, thorough, and easy 
to work with. I am always intrigued by trying out new programs, looking for

I first prepared a gedcom in Reunion of my 9,000+ individuals and imported it
