Hi All, I have a burial in my FTM tree and fact notes on the burial (MI etc.). When I upload it to my AMT these notes are not copied. I see on the help that only person notes are copied. However I can see in other Ancestry trees that similar notes are there for burials. How do I do this? The only way I can see is to include a description field for the Burial fact and put the notes in there. Will that be what others have done? Or am I missing something. Any help gratefully received Christine

Christine, Do you have it marked as Private ?

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?

Hi Judy, Thanks for your reply. I am seeing "notes" below the fact description where for other facts the "description" field is placed. That is what made me wonder if some other people had enhanced the "burial" fact to include a description field. e.g. see Harriet BAILEY b c 1835 Styal, Cheshire in "BAILEY Family Tree" by Pcarpmanone. But I didn't want to go down that route until I was sure that that was what others had done and there was no other solution.

Christine, I looked at Harriet's burial fact as you suggested. I'm not at my computer right now, I'm looking at it on my phone, so labels may have been removed to facilitate mobile viewing. There is no label for Place either. However it looks to me as if the additional burial information is probably in the description field in this person's FTM file. I believe the rest of your question has been satisfactorily explained by others. But I'm glad for the reminder on this issue. I've submitted an enhancement request to FTM that all notes that have been uploaded to the AMT be given the option to be made visible to the user and to anyone the user chooses.

Hi Christine It is my understanding that only person notes are added to the AMT which is supported by the Ancestry help: Family Tree Maker compared to Ancestry trees when using TreeSync Published 08/16/2011 03:47 PM | Updated 11/24/2014 02:35 PM | Answer ID 5356 Notes In Family Tree Maker you can create a variety of notes: person, research, fact, relationship, media, and source citation. When you upload a tree to Ancestry ONLY PERSON NOTES will be included; they can only be viewed by people you have invited to your online tree.

Hmm I wonder if you are interpreting what you are seeing and not seeing correctly? Notes Online Synced Person Notes are visible to the tree owner (you) and any editor role you create/invite. Synced Research Notes are on the AMT but are not visible. Fact/Media/Relationship/Source Citation Notes are synced with the AMT but are not visible. An Ancestry.com YouTube on Notes Crista Cowan, the Barefoot Genealogist, has a 26-minute video on Notes on this link: http://ftmuser.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/ftm2014-barefoot-genealogist-view-on. html#uds- search-results John D -----Original Message----- From: ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Christine Benson via Sent: Tuesday, 7 April 2015 2:12 AM To: Family Tree Maker Tech Subject: [FTM-TECH] "Notes" in AMT Hi All, I have a burial in my FTM tree and fact notes on the burial (MI etc.).
