Another question I have..... the whole sync process and it's impact on sources.  At times I'll work in FTM and add a single source to the facts for multiple people.  One-to-Many relationship.  I sync with Ancestry Trees and whala -- all of a sudden I have a separate source for each person, a one-to-one relationship.  I don't want to have separate sources in these cases.  Why does this happen??

Debbie, That is NOT in FTM2014 that is in the Ancestry Member Tree. It is being presented in the AMT on each Fact where that Citation is used. If you really think about it, each Citation is on each person in FTM2014. So, I am sorry, but don't understand the issue. Don't you want Citations in the AMT?

I can understand your concern. It is not quite as bad as you think. The Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) has a different data base than does FTM 2014. As I understand it, the AMT can use the same Source-citation for multiple facts for the same person. It cannot use the same Source-citations for multiple individuals and it splits these based upon the individual. That is not the same as the old FTM 16 model where every source was unique to each fact. Since you are looking at individuals in the AMT, I don't see how this phenomena matters all that much. The only time it has an adverse impact is when you download the AMT into an FTM data base. Then the user may have some cleaning up to do to aggregate sources-citations for multiple individuals into a single source. Of course there are some who prefer the source-citations not be aggregated but remain separate.
