"John, I suggest that you USE FTM2012, just don't use the Sync feature until the patch is available. As the the "recovery" just, on a regular basis, do a Compact File, and use the Back Up feature that is offered. Russ"

"Thanks Bo, I hope that when the new patch comes out these things wont be necessary. Meantime, as I said above I'll stop using FTM meantime. I would dearly like to use FTM for most of my work but the sync failures have prevented that because the…"

"Thanks Russ, I hadn't seen that message board and it is obvious from that that I'm far from being alone. I wish I'd seen it before - I would have felt less like the problems were my fault and have spent far less time attempting to…"

"Bo, I very, very rarely search on Ancestry. I maintain ALL of my files in FTM2012. Not sure what you are doing when you say "Close Ancestry when done the online searches". That doesn't may any difference. If it works for you, fine,…"

"Hi John and Russ: Here's what I've learned both from Russ's blog and from my own mistakes: Never have FTM and Ancestry open at the same time when syncing. Search online at Ancestry rather than thru FTM because the interface and…"

"John, As the Ancestry Family Tree Maker message board clearly shows, there are issues with FTM2012. HOWEVER, and I think this is important. DON'T use the Sync feature until a Patch has been released. I haven't have any problems with the…"

"Bo, I agree with your earlier comments and hope you find a way to get the message through to Ancestry. But, I am most interested right now in your comments on problems with sync. I have had ongoing problems in this area that were not corrected…"

suggested improvements to FTM2013

Greetings all from cold blustery Ontario, Canada: I love the FTM2012 sync feature ... when it works. But given the many times I have had to repair my master data-base and re-upload my files to Ancestry, perhaps there is something else amiss? For instance in the quality of the public tree data hints provided? How many of you have found public trees with parent birth dates well before their childrens' ... even by a couple centuries!!
