Hi Daryl, Thanks for your replies.

Fact notes are uploaded for backup purposes, but they are not visible to you or to anyone else. I don't know why it's set up that way, but it is. If you download your AMT to FTM, the fact notes will be included. I would like to be able to see all my notes online, and be able to make them visible to those I choose. In the AMT, comments can be added to the Description field and might look like notes. If your AMT is public or shared with someone, others can make comments on facts. These may appear to be notes. Where are you seeing notes in others' trees?

That article may be a bit misleading. The AMT data structure does not support Fact notes, Research Notes, Media Notes nor Tasks; consequently, the information may not be displayed in the AMT. Users wanted to use the AMT as an emergency online backup of their file. FTM 2014's sync function was modified to upload and store the additional information. Thus it can be downloaded into a new FTM data base. However the AMT data structure has not been modified to make use of the additional data. So the Fact Notes are not displayed for the facts in the online data views. In simple terms, the information is stored online for recovery purposes but it cannot be viewed online. Hope this is clear as to why you cannot view the Fact notes in the AMT.

Thanks Lawrence It sounds like an Autumnal issue? Certainly the FTM Find missing leaves report doesn't seem to be working John D -----Original Message----- From: ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lawrence Bouett via Sent: Wednesday, 1 April 2015 11:05 AM To: ftm-Tech List Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] Falling Leaves John, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the leaves. I don't use the shaky-leaf hints, so I haven't experienced the problem you describe. I do think I have an explanation, though, although I'm afraid I don't have a ready solution. The leaves in /Family Tree Maker/ are deciduous leaves, which means that they should fall off in the Fall the the year. That is what they are supposed to do in Nature. Of course, since you live in the upside-down part of the World, you are just now entering Fall, while the rest of us are entering Spring. Deciduous leaves have what is called an /abscission layer/, which is simply a layer of special cells that have been programmed, through millions of years of evolution, to die when the photoperiod — the duration of light on any given day — falls below a certain threshold on average over time. Another factor that enters into how the abscission layer cells die is temperature, which is contributing to your problem because the temperature trigger is calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit (ºF), while you live with degrees Celsius (ºC), so the leaves must convert ºC to ºF before they can die. That may be why we're not seeing the problem here in the right-side-up part of the World. I don''t know how they managed to do it, but Provo has genetically engineered the formation of the abscission layer _out_ of their so-called /Shaky leaf hints/ so that the leaves are, effectively, evergreen rather than deciduous. So it seems to me that the only solution is for Provo to put their staff biologists and geneticists to work on the problem /immediately /and either breed out the offending gene or, through genetic engineering, cut the gene out of the leaf stock. In that way, future generations of shaky leaves will not carry the gene for the development of the abscission layer, and over time, all will be well. Plus, since I'm not seeing the problem you describe, I have nothing I have to rake up and compost. Oh, that reminds me: when you do compost, you're supposed to turn the compost regularly to ærate it; otherwise, it may not break down completely and simply rot.

Beth, Yes, you want to Register FTM2012 on the New Computer. Yes, you can use both of them. You want to Back Up your FTM2012 files and move them to the New Computer and do a File, Restore. To move between two computers, you can use a Thumb / Flash / USB drive to do  so, or a program like Drop Box. If you know how to use FTM2012 you know how to use FTM2014, but there will be more features that you will have access to.

Beth, No problem. I actually have had the last several versions on three machines and all registered. Desktop, laptop, and my mother-in-law's for when I am at her house. And as you say, only use one at a time. Jay Thompson just an old genealogy nut too tough to crack.

I plan to upgrade to 2014 in a few months, but don't want to learn a new program as I am now learning so many new and upgraded programs on the new machine.
