Dorothy Miller
Although a general overview of FTM 2012 will be given, this presentation will focus on TreeSync – FTM’s feature that allows one to synchronize their personal tree with a tree on Ancestry. In order to take advantage of this capability, it is important to understand the definition of synchronizing and the limitations of such an action. Examples will be given to illustrate what to do and what not to do.
