I recently used Tesco vouchers to 'buy' Family Tree Maker 2012 platinum version. As well as effectively costing me nothing, I was pleased to see that it included a free six month ancestry premium membership. It also automatically syncs the trees when I make an amendment which saves a lot of work.
So I have uploaded the tree onto it but have discovered a couple of issues I was hoping some clever Rootschatters could help with. There is a wee fat book comes with the FTM pack but as usual, you can never find exactly what you're looking for!
Firstly, I previously kept my tree on My Heritage's Family Tree Builder with a copy on Ancestry. When I have uploaded the gedcom, all my notes have vanished!! Is there a way to copy them over does anyone know? When I created the gedcom, it should have included the notes (the box was ticked) but they're not there!
Secondly, I don't like the view I am getting on FTM. It only shows my direct ancestors in a pedigree view. To see brothers/sisters/children, I need to click on the person and a panel opens below. When I look at my tree on ancestry I have a choice between pedigree and family. Is there a button I'm missing on FTM to have a family view?
Hope that all makes sense and that someone can help. Thanks!
Update - ignore this. Notes have all appeared again!!
