I downloaded my tree as instructed, and did a lot of work on it in FTM (resolve places, remove duplicates, etc). When I wanted to sync it the only option was to upload and link thus creating a new online tree. I am sure that this was my fault somehow, I missed the linking option when downloading it. Now the silly thing is that I have two trees that are not complete on AMT. One with duplicate persons and incorrect places, and another one with missing photos and stories. When adding a media file on AMT and making it a Document/Certificate you get an option Transcription of text in document. That is where I filled out the transcription. I noticed that when all the media files were synced from FTM up to AMT they lost the headstone and document category and became personal photos. I am also looking at about 30 grayed out photos that did not make the sync. I have compacted the tree, changed the caption on the missing photos, but to no avail. The downloaded stories ended up under the Media category in FTM, they open up in my internet browser and the formatting is warbled. When syncing up to AMT the notes/stories did not make it back up. At this point I am trying to decide whether to keep using FTM and fix all the items or ditching it and go back to using just AMT.
