Russ

Russ,
Do you know if a new version of FTM is coming out this year?
Is there a way in FTM 2014 to turn off the sync function?

I am thinking of getting a upgrade just to move my media to RM7 in a GEDcom file.
Thanks

Russ, I have a question for you -- I use both Family Tree Maker 2014and Ancestry and they are synced sorta.

Russ,  I have a question for you -- I use both Family Tree Maker 2014 and Ancestry and they are synced sorta.  So I wanted to put up a new tree on Ancestry - BUCHHOLZ-CLARKSON2014.  BUT none of my pictures came thru.  So instead of deleting the old tree -- I just renamed it until I could get the pictures into the new tree.  Old BUCHHOLZ-CLARKSON2012   Is there a way to do this?   Thanks

Cousin Russ, my FTM2014/Ancestry files are a mess.  I have several iterations of my main family tree file, and some of them will no longer synch.  I want to clean this mess up.  How do I merge files on Ancestry and get everything back together with one file in each place?

I will respond to this post.

Welcome to all who are coming to this site from RootsTech 2015!

Welcome to all who are coming to this site from RootsTech 2015!

We had another successful year at the Evidentia booth, and met so many interesting people – and so many of you were excited about Evidentia!

Evidentia was mentioned in several of the educational sessions at RootsTech this year, and we thank you for this unsolicited support!  It looks like genealogy is catching up with what Evidentia has to offer!  I also want to thank my wife, Becky Thompson, for assisting me at the booth this year.  I loved hearing her say “our software…”.

The downside of having my wife at a convention with me is that she has twisted my arm until I agreed to extend the conference price to EVERYONE for the rest of February.  Those of you who were on the fence at the convention can still save $5 if you purchase Evidentia in the next 2 weeks.

I also want to remind all of you about our special training session next week.  On Friday, Feb 20th 8:30 PM EST we will be presenting our live training session “Getting Started with Evidentia” as a special Google Hangout On Air.  You do not need to own Evidentia to attend, but you DO NEED TO REGISTER at http://evidentiasoftware.com/events-2 if you want to be eligible for a door prize.

Did I say DOOR PRIZE?  I picked up several goodies at RootsTech and we will be giving them away during the hangout on Friday.  You must be ‘present’ to win, and you must be registered.

We will be offering other training this year, but this will be the only opportunity to win a door prize.

Be sure to sign up for our mailing list to stay up to date with the latest training opportunities. You can sign up here.

I am having a strange problem with publishing a descendant report in familytreemaker version 2014 in windows 7.  Every paragraph in the report begins with the same phrase instead of the person's name. The phrase does not even pertain to any of the individuals in the report.  It is probably born August 1894 in Worcester, son of William and Josephine.  I cannot figure out what is causing this to happen.  Any ideas?

Hi Russ.

Hi Russ...   Thought I'd share today's experience with FTM and AMT with you.  Recently found out that if you UPLOAD your FTM file to AMT in the hopes that any errors in the file will be fixed, and then download that AMT file to a newly created file in FTM, the TASKS are lost.  All 1600 of mine are not in my newly created FTM file.  I guess when FTM and AMT sync files, the TASKS are not touched, which is why FTM still has the TASKS in the FTM file, even if you'd made changes to you AMT.   This makes me wonder if one's FTM file is really totally backed up by the AMT file.    Thanks for listening... aka SAM
