Migration Toolkit for Careful Potential Migrants
A Migration Toolkit for careful potential migrants Barbara Levergood 9 September 2017 The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA The Migration Toolkit is available at The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA http://www.rootsusers.org/ It is not important for you to have it for purposes of this presentation. The Problem The following is equally true of Family Historian and Legacy software: “RootsMagic provides a direct TMG import which provides much better results than using a GEDCOM transfer. Still, it is not possible to get a perfect one-to-one transfer because of the vastly different data models, template languages, etc. used by both TMG and RootsMagic. You will need to expect to do some cleanup when moving your data from TMG to RootsMagic (or any other program) […].” Moving Data from TMG to RootsMagic, http:// files.rootsmagic.com/TMGDoc.pdf The Questions o How good is the (direct) import to the new software? o What kind of clean up is needed in TMG or in the new software? o What resources are available to help me find out? Each careful migrant will want to investigate the answers for him/herself. Nobody said this was going to be easy. 2 The Goal Introduce the Migration Toolkit* and how to use it. The Migration Toolkit includes: • List of resources (Word document) • Migration Dummy (TMG project as a backup .sqz file) • Spreadsheet for Documenting your Findings and Next Steps (Excel) It is about the process! * Some resources useful in the testing and evaluation of candidate genealogical software and in the preparation for migration. -

Best Practices for Syncing Family Tree Maker Trees to Your Ancestry.Com Account
Best Practices for Syncing Family Tree Maker Trees to your Ancestry.com account 1. COMPACT YOUR TREE Before you sync, you should always compact your tree (Tools>Compact). Compacting removes spaces in the database that can lead to errors. • You can and should compact multiple times until the result shows “reduced by 0.00%”. • Always check the Extended Analysis checkbox in the Compacting window. This looks for errors and fixes them. 2. DO A MANUAL BACKUP Before you sync, always do a full manual backup (File>Backup). Backing up ensures that you will be able to immediately restore your tree if something goes wrong. • Always check the box for including Media. • Always check the box to "Allow restored file to resume syncing". This will help you get relinked if the connection with your Ancestry tree is ever unintentionally broken. • Important note on Auto-Backups: Auto-Backups do not contain media and do not have the information needed to relink your tree if it becomes unlinked. 3. SYNC EARLY Try to avoid syncing your trees during peak hours when Ancestry servers are at their busiest. Many users report that early morning hours are best for trouble-free syncing. Others find that late night is best, doing a final sync before signing off for the day. 4. SYNC OFTEN: Sync your tree frequently — don't wait until you've made dozens of changes. 5. SYNC MANUALLY Use Manual Sync instead of Automatic Sync. It tends to be more reliable, and includes media and information needed to relink a sync. This can be set when syncing a tree for the first time, or by clicking on the sync indicator in the upper-right corner of the program and going into Sync Options.
