😟If syncing your family tree between genealogy software and Ancestry is a problem, watch this!
From Spreadsheet to GEDcom: Preparing to Share Family Tree to Genealogy Websites youtu.be/16mjzgN9P8s
In my last video, I shared how syncing RootsMagic with Ancestry and FamilySearch didn’t go as planned. Now, I’m back with a better plan—and a few hard-learned lessons—on syncing Family Tree Maker with Ancestry. If you’ve struggled with duplicate citations, mismatched data, or endless manual fixes, this video is for you.
I’ll show you the mistakes I made, how I pivoted, and a step-by-step process to manage your family trees more effectively. Learn what works (and what doesn’t) when connecting genealogy software to online trees.
Is there a perfect syncing solution? Watch to find out—and share your own tips in the comments!
