Jeanne, I haven't received my 2012 yet so appreciate your sharing this with us. I will not use the sync feature until I am absolutely sure that it has been corrected. It is unthinkable that Ancestry should do this. I sure do not want any of my hard work messed up like that. Thank you for the warning.

Just checked with a tree that I had synched the other day. Well, it is a disaster for me. My sources have been rearranged to the Ancestry.com standard - not the one that I was "free" to do myself. As a result, all of my entries of "Social Security Death Index" just plain, no stuff from Ancestry on it - have been changed to Ancestry's own entry (many lines long.) This source is entered under a person's birth, death and social security number in my files - three entries. Ancestry removed two of the three, leaving many of my death and social security numbers blank - no source. Many of the other sources have also been changed by Ancestry. I am afraid to look at places. ********************************** List information page http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Software/FTM-TECH.html Online Support for Family Tree Maker Version 16 and earlier http://pastftm.custhelp.com/ Version 2008 - 2011 http://ftm.custhelp.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FTM-TECH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
