Family Tree Maker replaces TreeSync

The developers of Family Tree Maker ( FTM) have created a new tool to replace its popular TreeSync feature. Software MacKiev, which acquired the brand from Ancestry in 2016, announced that a similar function named ‘FamilySync’ would be included with FTM 2017, due for release on 31 March. Whereas TreeSync will stop working for users with older versions of FTM, those who purchase or upgrade to the latest edition will be able to continue synchronising their offline data with Ancestry trees.
