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 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
That article may be a bit misleading. The AMT data structure does not support Fact notes, Research Notes, Media Notes nor Tasks; consequently, the information may not be displayed in the AMT. Users wanted to use the AMT as an emergency online backup of their file. FTM 2014's sync function was modified to upload and store the additional information. Thus it can be downloaded into a new FTM data base. However the AMT data structure has not been modified to make use of the additional data. So the Fact Notes are not displayed for the facts in the online data views. In simple terms, the information is stored online for recovery purposes but it cannot be viewed online. Hope this is clear as to why you cannot view the Fact notes in the AMT.

Hi Daryl, Thanks for your replies. When I was experimenting to be sure the notes were not marked as private (as I find the symbol for unlocked looks more like locked) when I changed the privacy setting the tree said it needed re-synching. And when I did nothing changed! Which seems bit silly.
