Family Tree Maker and Ancestry.com Member Family Tree Synchronization
There have been many long messages on the Ancestry.com message board for
Family Tree Maker about the synchronization between a Web Based Tree
and a PC Based Family Tree Maker (program) file.
In the Family Tree Maker Blog, announcing Version 2011, there is an
posting by Tana L. Pedersen, author of the Official Guide to the Family
Tree Maker program.

Here is the text of Tana L. Pedersens message around reply # 99:
Thanks to everyone of you who has asked questions and left comments. I
apologize for not being able to answer every question and appreciate
those of you who jump in to help.
I realize that synchronization is a much desired enhancement for Family
Tree Maker users, so I asked if there was more I could post that would
clarify the company’s position on the issue. Here’s the official
statement. “Our customers frequently ask for more ability to
synchronize and transfer data between Family Tree Maker and Ancestry
Member Trees, and we want to assure you that we are listening. This is a
complex issue and while we cannot say for certain when it will be
resolved, it is an important priority that we are actively working on.”

Robert,
I totally agree with Andy. But then he and I have been part of the Family Tree Maker Message Board discussion(s) on this topic. Andy is not an active user of Family Tree Maker, so I value his input on the topic. I have a long time user of the program AND Ancestry.com and we come out at the same place on the topic.
From the discussions that I have been a part of, on the topic, the issue comes from users who started their research or have done most of their research Online and are trying to move to the PC based program and have read into information that this was a feature of the program. It has not been a part of the program. The questions above really need to be taken into consideration before this feature is made available.
I would hope that folks who have concerns about or want this feature, that the Comments be put on the Ancestry.com Blog. As you can tell, Ancestry.com leadership read their blog. They may or may not read what is here.
Thank you for posted those comments.
