Thank you so much for the explanation. I understand it all. That will certainly be a big help. ________________________________ From: BJ <bhamilton3@cox.net> To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, September 9, 2011 5:41:06 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] version 2012 I received something.  Not sure it was for a 40% discount.  In the past they have sent marketing messages to a random sampling of users probably to see which works best. Tree sync is the newest feature added to FTM.  It allows a user to link an online tree to a FTM file.  Once the two are linked together, the user may make changes in either tree and have those changes automatically applied to the other tree.  So if you have your FTM 2012 file linked to an online tree, you can access your online tree using a ipad or iphone, make changes to your online tree.  When you return home and start FTM 2012 using the linked file, the changes made to the online tree will be downloaded and applied to your FTM 2012 file.  Likewise any changes you make to your FTM 2012 file will be uploaded and applied to the linked online tree.  So they are available to you when you go to the library and access your online tree. Does that answer your question? BJ On 9/9/2011 2:04 PM, Grace Chapman wrote: > Has anyone else received an email from ancestry with a 40% discount to buy the > 2012 version with tree sync??
