FAMILY TREE MAKER VS ROOTSMAGIC 7 SOFTWARE
Sync – RootsMagic will be the only software besides FTM to let you share data between your RootsMagic files on your computer with your personal Ancestry online trees. Search – RootsMagic will be the only software besides FTM to search Ancestry’s extensive collections of historical records from around the world and let you download those records into your own file. It clearly says that RootsMagic will sync with Ancestry trees on this RootsMagic blog entry. I am probably totally wrong on this, and have been told many times that I don't know what I am talking about, BUT, I see a lot of work to be done to get to 12/31/16. Just not willing to say WHEN that will happen. I am just not going to bank on the Sync feature to stop working 12/31/16. Both Roots Magic and with Family Tree Maker (PC and Mac) will have a fair amount of development and testing to be done in 10 months. IF there was a new API available today and companies were working with it, that might be a different story, but, to the best of my knowledge that API isn't published yet. I agree that the TreeSync™ feature that we know today, MAY not look like what we have today, based on "new technology" but the suggestion that it is going to stop working, may not be true. Like many (most) software companies official "no longer supported" is a normal official statement when they end the life of a program. I am not sure that "After January 1, 2017, while TreeSync will not be supported by Ancestry" means that it will stop working. * This is supposed to happen by 31 December 2016.ĥ) UPDATE: Tamura Jones interviewed the Software MacKiev President in New Family Tree Maker Future (posted 9 February 2016) - be sure to read it! Or perhaps matching one person, and all of their events, notes, media, sources, etc. * The "new" synchronization may be similar to that between RootsMagic and FamilySearch Family Tree - one person, one event, one source, one note, etc. * It is probable that the synchronization between an AMT and the desktop programs will not be a complete synchronization of everything in the desktop program file. * has not yet developed the API needed to implement the "new" synchronization with Family Tree Maker and RootsMagic. * The current TreeSync capability between an Ancestry Member Tree and a Family Tree Maker file will be retired after 1 January 2017. Look for RootsMagic Version 8 to incorporate all of these changes.ģ) So what does all of this mean? I think a summary is: In addition, RootsMagic will be programmed to be able to read a native Family Tree Maker file and not have to go through a GEDCOM import from Family Tree Maker. New interaction capabilities of records with a RootsMagic tree may be similar to what Family Tree Maker users can perform now - from within the program, they can search for records for a person, and add Ancestry record events and sources into a person profile. It also provides links to MyHeritage Record Matches and FamilySearch Record Hints, but those have to be entered into RootsMagic manually. The commitment for these changes is by the end of the year 2016.Īs RootsMagic users know, RootsMagic currently synchronizes in formation for one person and individual events, sources, notes and discussions with matching persons in the FamilySearch Family Tree. They did indicate that has not provided the API to accomplish whatever synchronization will be implemented by the new technology. Discussions with RootsMagic personnel did not provide a clear definition of what would synchronize and how it would be done.

Note that it doesn't say that RootsMagic will synchronize a RootsMagic user's tree to an Ancestry Member Tree as TreeSync does at present. This indicates that "RootsMagic users will have convenient access to Ancestry's vast collections of trees and records, as well as synchronizing with private online trees."
