They do not have any integration with their own Geni one-world tree, which is too bad.īut in March, MyHeritage announced a new FamilySearch Tree Sync (beta) which allows FamilySearch users to synchronize their family trees with MyHeritage. MyHeritage’s free Family Tree Builder download already has full syncing with MyHeritage’s online family trees. This seems to be an ability to bring in new people, many at a time, from FamilySearch into your tree. What looks very interesting among their upcoming features that I’ll want to try is their “download a branch from the FamilySearch Family Tree”. But Family Tree Maker has just announced their latest upgrade, and they include some new FamilySearch functionality. With regards to MyHeritage, RootsMagic only incorporates their hints, and not their actual tree data.įamily Tree Maker takes the sync with Ancestry a bit further than RootsMagic, offering full sync capabilities up and down.įor FamilySearch, FTM up to now only incorporates their hints and allows merging of Family Search data into your FTM data, again one person at a time. But you can’t do all at once or sync Ancestry and FamilySearch with each other. So basically, you can match your RootsMagic records to Family Search and sync them one at a time, and then do the same with Ancestry. With regards to FamilySearch, RootsMagic does a very similar thing. If you are only making changes on Ancestry, you’ll want everything downloaded and synced to RootsMagic. That is a good idea, but if you are only making changes on RootsMagic, you’ll want everything uploaded and synced to Ancestry. That is likely because RootsMagic doesn’t know which data is the data you’ve most recently updated and wants you to verify any changes either way. You’ll have to do that manually in RootsMagic, one person at a time using the differences. It will compare for you and show you what’s different. RootsMagic currently has its TreeShare function to share the data between what you have in RootsMagic on your computer, and what you have on Ancestry. Therefore they are the only two programs that can directly download data from, upload data to, and sync between your family tree files on your computer and up at Ancestry. FTM along with RootsMagic are the only two programs that Ancestry have allowed to use the API that gives them access to the online family trees. Although I don’t use Family Tree Maker (FTM), per se, I am very interested in its capabilities and syncing abilities.
