Hi Gale I can't say much on that subject as I don't synch a tree on Ancestry but would recommend subscribing to one of the FTM lists Such as <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/surname/f/ftm-tech.html#FTM-TECH> The subject you mention has been discussed and the subscribers are knowledgeable and may be able to help in that respect Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 11/03/2014 19:42, GALE GORMAN wrote: > I've never complained about this, not even to Ancestry, but my tree on Ancestry loses its sync with the tree on FTM.
