The only problem is that, as far as I know, you can *NOT* link a preexisting AMT to a preexisting FTM tree.

No, I have not received the email. For some reason I never get emails from Ancestry about FTM, even though I own both FTM 2010 and FTM 2011. However, the 40% discount is advertised on their website as well: http://goo.gl/zbNv5. It only applies to pre-ordering *upgrades* to FTM 2012. The discount for pre-ordering the software if you are *not* upgrading is 20%:http://goo.gl/BaSg2. There is a way to get an even bigger discount. Contact me offlist if you wish to know more.

It is true that you cannot link a preexisting online tree with a preexisting FTM file. You must have one which is preexisting and use it to create a new tree which is then linked. In other words, you take an existing FTM 2012 file and upload it to a new online tree and the two are then linked together. Or you can take an existing online tree and download it into a new FTM 2012 file. I submit this is the most efficient way to perform the link. Imagine the amount of processing, reviewing and decision making required of the user to perform the task of ensuring the existing online tree matches the existing FTM file. You would have to review every individual, every fact (date, location, description and note), every source, every source-citation (source title, citation detail, citation text, note, link and media link), every media item including the actual picture, links, notes, caption, file name and media description just to ensure the two were identical. Sorry that would take forever. BJ On 9/9/2011 7:43 PM, aghatchett3rd@aim.com wrote: > The only problem is that, as far as I know, you can *NOT* link a preexisting AMT to a preexisting FTM tree.

I did but I'm not sure that I'm ready to upgrade. I purchased 2010 and then 2011 came out less than three months later. There are still areas of that version that I've not touched so I think I'm going to stick with 2011 for a while longer.
