How do I use the new TreeSync feature in Family Tree Maker 2012?
Answer
Family Tree Maker 2012 has a new feature that allows you to sync the information between your Family Tree Maker 2012 files and your Ancestry.com account. Once you upload and link your tree to Ancestry, the two trees can be synchronized so that changes made in one tree can be applied to the other tree automatically or manually. To link your trees please follow the instructions listed below.
