Sync Your Family Tree Maker With Ancestry

 Syncing your Family Tree Maker (FTM) software with Ancestry.com is a straightforward process, but it does require both an active Ancestry subscription and the most recent version of Family Tree Maker. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Verify that Family Tree Maker is up to date.

Because previous versions of Family Tree Maker might not support all capabilities linked to synchronizing with Ancestry, make sure you're using the most recent version (FTM 2019 or Family Tree Maker 2023, for example).

⦁ By selecting Help > Check for changes, you may see if there have been any changes in FTM.

2. Go to Ancestry and log in

Verify that your Ancestry account is logged in. This may be performed in Family Tree Maker.

⦁ Launch Family Tree Maker.

⦁ Select Tools > Sync.

⦁ Enter your Ancestry.com login information when requested.

3. Link Family Tree Maker to Ancestry

⦁ If you have not already linked your FTM software to your Ancestry.com account, you will need to do so.

⦁ In Family Tree Maker, go to File > New Tree or open an existing tree.

⦁ From the File menu, select Sync with Ancestry.

⦁ A dialog box will appear asking you to sign in to Ancestry. Enter your Ancestry username and password to connect the software.

4. Select the Tree for Syncing

⦁ The choice of which Ancestry tree to connect with Family Tree Maker will be presented to you.

⦁ You can select a tree from the list if you already have one in Ancestry. A matching tree on Ancestry should be synchronized with any new trees you create in FTM.

5. Tree Syncing

⦁ A Sync button will appear when the trees have been connected. The sync procedure will begin when you click this.

⦁ Family Tree Maker will take down any updates made on Ancestry (such as newly uploaded records, family members, or images) and upload your local modifications (such as new people, facts, or media) to Ancestry.

6. Resolving Conflicts

⦁ Family Tree Maker will ask you to choose how to handle any conflicts that may arise (for example, if the same person has been changed in both Ancestry and Family Tree Maker). You have the option to combine them, preserve changes from Ancestry, or preserve changes from FTM.

7. Verify the Sync Status

⦁ You may verify if the sync was successful or if there were any problems by looking at the Sync Status in Family Tree Maker once the operation is finished.

⦁ To accomplish this, see a log of the syncing process and fix any problems by selecting Tools > Sync Status.

8. Syncing automatically

⦁ You may configure Family Tree Maker to automatically sync with Ancestry whenever you launch the application or make modifications after the first sync is finished.

⦁ Select the option to "Automatically sync this tree when you open Family Tree Maker" under Tools > Preferences > Sync to make this happen.

9. Syncing by hand

⦁ Every time you make changes or want to make sure your data is current, you may click the Sync option to manually sync.
