You can merge 2 trees but that is a failure too. That does not get all the info or the not ancestry sites info.
My family tree maker download#
Recommend to start new tree by download tree from Ancestry.

Reported to MacKiev gave all files and tree. Then I saw that it had also disassociated the spouses. It took 2 months to fix all the mangled duplicate people. In my case it did this to both Ancestry and FTM tree file. Duplication of individuals, replacing different place names with 1 place name not even close to correct. I too have numerous sync failures that mangled my FTM tree. The Marriage Report at Publish>Relationship Reports is another good one. This includes Censuses, Draft Registrations, Graves, City Directories, etc.Ĥ) Finally, it's a good preventative measure to periodically review the Edit>"Find Duplicate People." report. I also include a screenshot of the current "Statistical Information About File" available from the More button on the Plan tab.ģ) I sort my 1,000+ Media files by their Caption, and each media file's caption starts with the predominate individual's last name. Each file is about 2 GB, so I use Dropbox's Smart Sync feature to keep from over loading my HDD. I'm writing to pass on a couple things I do to try and avoid/resolve problems.ġ) I keep an abbreviated daily log of my significant FTM activity in Google Docs.Ģ) I save all my FTM sync logs in Dropbox. For the past couple weeks I've been trying to resolve two missing and duplicate Ancestry problems with the help of Mackiev, but I digress. Hi DiAnn, Thank you for your very well-written and always interesting blog from a fellow control freak that has also gone through genealogy HELL.
