Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by lkessler - 30 May 2019
Justin. Yes it's dangerous if not done carefully. For shared trees like Family search, it would need to mimic the manual method a person would have to do it, and ask the exact questions that the online tree would ask. It should not allow new people to be added or people to be deleted without properly verifying ...

Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by justincyork - 23 May 2019
I get the impression that you're advocating automatic sync (upload) to online trees. That's dangerous, particularly for shared trees. In fact, FamilySearch doesn't allow automatic writes. I believe the review process in RootsMagic for sending changes up to FamilySearch is largely mandated by FamilySearch.

Keith: It wouldn't make sense for MacKiev to get rid of Sync. The only reason would be if Ancestry no longer let them do it. I hope Ancestry opens up their API to other developers in the future. It's a shame that only FTM and RootsMagic are given access to it.

In a comment on my GenealogyTools blog, Jack Minsky, president of Software MacKiev, said, "FamilySync is very much a part of FTM 2019 and will continue to provide syncing with your Ancestry trees." So that's good news, and even better is that TreeVault is a new feature, although it will require a subscription.

I agree that the ability to sync with multiple services is crucial. I was a beta tester for AncestorSync and was very disappointed when it failed.
Regarding FTM 2019, there was no mention in Software MacKiev's announcement whether the FamilySync feature would continue, or if the new TreeVault feature is ...

Although I don’t use Family Tree Maker (FTM), per se, I am very interested in its capabilities and syncing abilities. FTM along with RootsMagic are the only two programs that Ancestry have allowed to use the API that gives them access to the Ancestry.com online family trees. Therefore they are the only two ...

Determining VCF Accuracy - Blog entry by lkessler - 13 May 2019
In my last post, I was able to create a raw data file from the Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) BAM file using the WGS Extract program. It seemed to work quite well. But my previous post to that: WGS – The Raw VCF file and the gVCF file, I was trying to see if I could create a raw data file from the Variant ...
