£89 Worldwide

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/checkout/mli?direct=1&quantities=1&flow=3&offers=O-24532&rType=11

Worked for me in advance of renewal, so I did not need to cancel then resubscribe as I have done in the past.

Thanks for the link :)

Can I suggest the links on this thread are updated or removed as some fail to load?

Thanks

After a year of using FWR there has to be an alternative that is a lot more user-friendly.

Suggestions please.

Technical Help / Ancestry.co.uk - Links Roots Magic - Family Search
« on: Sunday 25 August 24 13:07 BST (UK)  »
I link my Ancestry Tree to Roots Magic (RM), which works well for me. However, it also gives me the opportunity to link the tree to Family Search LDS.

I am not sure if this is a good idea, based on security, others alternating my tree via family search etc.

Has anyone any thoughts on this?

Chris

Within Ancestry the new Pro Tools has a Tree Checker feature which may be useful.

I link my tree to Roots Magic that has a tree checker, currently working through:
Parents Married before child
Born after baptism
Born after a parent's death
Fathers under 16 when child born
Mothers child born over 50
Born after burial
etc.

It seems to work well, also gives access to everything that is stored on Ancestry locally, including documents, images etc.

Top right corner pen symbol for edit
Choose edit relationship and you can choose biological
Step adopted foster or other

Spanner tool icon can be used to merge 2 profiles of same person
Children often appear twice as child of bio parent and the step parent you have to cancel relationship to avoid false suggestions

I use the green tag option & customise some tags such as married after child's birth or adopted.

Your tips will definitely come in handy, especially the tags.
Thank you

I think you have to set a "Home" person.
Then all relationships refer to this person.

Look at Tree Settings.

Many thanks sorted.

On each person's profile page, I am sure there was a button to click on, that would show how I was related to that person.

Where has it gone or is there a different method now.

A confused Chris ???

Help appreciated.
