John Not so much pretty but convenient for me. I remember what happened a few versions ago when some facts were moved around and made no sense whatsoever when upgraded to the next version. I don't wish for this to happen this time around when using the sync feature. I'm interested in your details on how to get your tree in 'condition'.

I have added 'Witnesses, Divorce, E'mail, and Descriptions for Birth, Baptism, Witness/Godparents, Death, Burial. From what I have read so far, these may not sync neatly. I'm quite satisfied how I have set up that panel and have no wish to change it but when and if I post to Ancestry I will run into problems. My guess is that the concern is how the online tree will look, am I right? I have seen what looks 'pretty' on Ancestry.com but looks very jumbled in Family Tree Maker. While I am quite willing to share connections, I do NOT share sources nor the great majority of my Facts. To get my file to this 'condition' requires considerable maneuvering, and probably is of no interest to most. If anyone wants details, feel free to ask - it is NOT a secret. At the same time, I admit to like having my tree synched to Ancestry.com so that it would be available to me at any place or time. If I were you, I would make my tree work as you wish on your computer, period! Just my two cents worth!

> I'm interested in your details on how to get your tree in 'condition'. I create a GEDCOM, then compress it using 7-Zip. I upload the .zip file to WorldConnect, aka Rootsweb. There I have a filter set to remove notes, sources and about 8 other GEDCOM tags. Living people's information is removed and for me, that includes anyone born after 1898 for whom I do not have some death information. By enabling Gedcom User Full download, temporarily, I can download a 4 M file that started off at about 50 M. The resulting file I upload to Ancestry.com. I could give more detailed tag filter instruction IF you wish. A list is available at wiki-en.genealogy.net/GEDCOM-Tags if you need it. Does this help or hinder? John Okerson Memphis, TN
