My heritage family tree builder reviews4/18/2023 ![]() ![]() For example, I find a whole ancestral line in England that has non-specific birthplaces for my ancestors. Guess what? I am finding errors in the Family Tree that need to be corrected. I have been working away on my Tree Sync family tree for some time now. Yes, if I make a stupid mistake on my MyHeritage family tree, I will likely copy that stupid mistake over the FamilySearch Family Tree, but how is this any different than any other mistake I might make while working on the Family Tree? Again, you initiate any synchronization. The comment starts out with an inaccurate statement, "What concerns me is that there is no chance to review what changes MyHeritage is going to make to FamilyTree before the synch happens." The only changes made are those you yourself make to your own personal family tree. I now have what is essentially a backup of my work on the Family Tree (and everyone else's work too for that matter). It allows me to have the same information on my portion of the Family Tree and maintain what is close to a mirror copy (without the reverse effect of a real mirror) on MyHeritage. But what we are talking about here with MyHeritage takes this a giant step further. By the way, this is a really great feature of all three programs. In each of these three programs changes are made essentially one item at a time. That is exactly the problem being addressed by the idea of creating a way to do this without the work of individually transferring changes.Įven before MyHeritage made their announcement, there are at least three different ways to manually, one by one, make synchronization changes from a third party family tree to the Family Tree:, RootsMagic, and Ancestral Quest. Right now, I can manually "sync" any of my online family trees by merely comparing the entries and copying and pasting in any changes. The entire idea of having the ability to synchronize information on two different family trees inplies that they will be kept as close to identicle as possible. But my response to the comment is not quite that simple. You have to go to the menu and select the function and then let it run for an hour or so to make any changes. Then, it's left up to all us FT users to try and fix the mess.įirst of all, the Tree Sync feature is not "automatic" in the sense that it "automatically" copies changes from your Tree Sync family tree to the Family Tree. I have nightmares of MyHeritage making all kinds of changes to FT, many of which users may not have actually intended to make. It seems to me it would be much better to require users to individually approve each change to FT before the synch occurs. The synch is apparently automatic and you only get a report of what was changed after the synch is complete. What concerns me is that there is no chance to review what changes MyHeritage is going to make to FamilyTree before the synch happens. I have responsive comments about this on a number of levels. I received the following comment from a reader of my recent post about the new Tree Sync feature for LDS users of the Family Tree. ![]()
