The one feature of FTM that I find missing is the place view which allows me to see everyone associated with a single place and selecting the individual profiles as needed.

ROOTSMAGIC AND ANCESTRY SOFTWARE

I immediately bought several genealogy software packages and after working with them for several weeks find RootsMagic the best solution for me. The December announcement was very upsetting. I have used FTM for many years and have almost 20,000 people in Ancestry and FTM with many thousands of records and media for them. Thank you for filling the void left by the retirement of Family Tree Maker. It will still allow you to share names, events, notes, sources, and even media between RootsMagic and Ancestry. The API is still in development, buy syncing in both RootsMagic and FTM will likely be a bit different than the current “TreeSync”. Will the sync work exactly like TreeSync in FTM?Īncestry is working on a new API that both RootsMagic and FTM will be switching to (“API” is a fancy word for the system with which Ancestry can communicate with other products). Whenever that time comes, please visit for a special discount and instructions to help you make the change. You may be willing to wait until the new Ancestry features are available or you may wish to get started right away. We invite you to look at RootsMagic and its features and, if you like what you see, you’re welcome to make the transition whenever you feel ready. So you don’t have to make the switch immediately. We certainly wouldn’t mind if you did 🙂 But seriously, Ancestry has stated that current versions of Family Tree Maker will work with their services through 2016. In fact, these relationships give RootsMagic users the ability to access more records from more sources than any other software. This will not affect any existing functionality in the RootsMagic software including sharing data with FamilySearch Family Tree and WebHints.

Will I still be able to use RootsMagic to work with FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and other companies? The features and records available to you will depend on your subscription level.

Use of Ancestry features will require an Ancestry account, even if only as a free Registered Guest. Will I need an Ancestry subscription to use these features? You’re free to use or ignore them as you like. Like all of our integrations with other companies, these features are completely optional. What if I don’t want to upload my data to Ancestry?

ROOTSMAGIC AND ANCESTRY UPDATE

We anticipate having many of these features available later this year in an update to our RootsMagic 7 software.Īre you the only other genealogy software working with Ancestry? Both Ancestry and RootsMagic are dedicating considerable time and resources to make this happen.

ROOTSMAGIC AND ANCESTRY UPGRADE

If you are using a version of RootsMagic older than 7, you will need to purchase an upgrade to 7 to use the features.Īs is to be expected with something this big, it will not happen overnight. If you are using the paid version of RootsMagic 7, these features will be included in a free update to that version. Will I have to buy a new version of RootsMagic to use these features? Former Family Tree Maker users will have a path forward, importing their original FTM files while using the Ancestry hints and trees that they’ve come to depend on. RootsMagic users will have convenient access to Ancestry’s vast collections of trees and records, as well as synchronizing with private online trees. This really is a win-win for both companies and their users. Why are RootsMagic and Ancestry working together? We’ve simply arranged to work with our friends at Ancestry to make this happen just as we work with FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and other genealogy companies. RootsMagic is still the same independent software maker that we’ve always been.

Questionsĭoes this mean that Ancestry bought RootsMagic? Yes, this is big news and we’re sure you have many questions about it.
