That is the bad news. The good news is that if you export from Family Tree Maker 2009 to Ancestry.com all of that information remains intact. <br /><br />So it appears that you should be keeping your master and doing your editing on FTM if you want to be working with a synced set of data at home and online.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361085303443963781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-49506894970616001832009-07-10T05:42:52.196-07:002009-07-10T05:42:52.196-07:00Hi Randy ...one important thing that wasn't me...Hi Randy ...one important thing that wasn't mentioned ...to download a family tree from Ancestry.com online family trees, you must be the owner of that tree. If someone gives you access, even as an editor, only the owner can download it!Genealogy TidBitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06099846158285439754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-35113519664731943712009-07-09T18:46:11.139-07:002009-07-09T18:46:11.139-07:00This may be a stupid question.

I know better now, but my problem is that that first time, when I tried to open it with some program already on my computer, I accidentally clicked "Do this for files like this from now on." How do I undo that? I haven't been able to figure it out, but I also haven't tried to export a GEDCOM since, because I've assumed it wouldn't work. If I try while having the proper software, will it automatically download through that? I imagine not, but I have no idea how to fix it.Kathleen O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998207528481554149noreply@blogger.com
