FTM Tree Sync ceasing from 29 March?

[sng165]

Is it compatible with Ancestry?

It obviously won't sync with Ancestry, the only programme to do that is FTM as I understand it.

Could I load My Ancestry Trees onto Family Tree BUILDER via a GEDCOM file ?

I see Family Tree Builder is part of My Heritage. My understanding is that if you download your tree as a Gedcom, you can then upload it to any site, but someone on here will be able to confirm if that is true.

I gather the new roots magic has been delayed because of the problem with ancestry and the new version of familytreemaker!

Strange sng165 as this is the latest from FTM

Starting yesterday, we began rolling out FTM 2017 to 25,000 users worldwide in our Beta Test Drive Program. The initial feedback from our "Test Drivers" has been very positive. The group's composition was selected for the best chance of successful syncing. In a departure from our usual confidentiality rules for beta testing, our test drivers are allowed to share their test driving experience publicly.

I cant believe that !
Never Mind - I've cancelled my subscription to FTM this afternoon - matters havent improved (despite their reassurances - this tester hasnt found it much better), & I'm just about to lapse my Ancestry subs. I will be using MyHeritage from now on.

i've seen that info that groom has put on.This business of invitation as well for the test drive, a lot of people did n't get invite especially not of the Monday and on the familytreemaker site on face book there's some interesting info including positive and some very negative. I notice after people started complaining no invite to test drive, all of a sudden there was a a link from the support site to apply ut quite a while after they they said they had started rolling it out. They seem to contradict what they are saying a lot. I so far have n't applied to be a test driver and am annoyed that they are not given even an a regular update to say there's nothing to report so that people know they are not being ignored.As for saying the uk can go to bed when they announced the roll out, what were we in the uk to think. They said they were rolling it out geographically but did n't layout plans for it.

My PC crashed a week ago. I did receive an email to Beta test but since I didn't have a PC I couldn't. Now I am desperate to get the software (working properly) so that I can sync from Ancestry to get all of my trees back on my new PC.

familytreemaker have put an update, saying working with ancestry engineers tonight and will analyse whether to roll out. The sync is 94.8 % on test drives. This update was put on this morning and says just after midnight may 3rd.
