![]() In our next blog article, we’ll show you another FamilySearch feature unique to RootsMagic, the Change History List with the ability to restore incorrect changes to Family Tree. If you are using an older version, you’ll need to upgrade to v6. If you already own version 6, select Help > Check for Updates from the main menu. Remember, to use RootsMagic with FamilySearch Family Tree, you’ll need to be using the latest version of RootsMagic 6 (6.3.0.2). RootsMagic Full Version has a built-in browser that connects you to different family tree websites, including Ancestry, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch. A Short VideoĪnd here is that short video I promised, which goes into more detail about how to share sources between RootsMagic and FamilySearch Family Tree. When moving a source from FamilySearch to RootsMagic, the URL (if any) will be added as a WebTag attached to the source when it is brought over. ![]() If your RootsMagic source has a WebTag, the URL for that WebTag will be included when you copy the source to FamilySearch. Some options (like copying a source from RootsMagic to FamilySearch) will also ask you to enter a reason why you are making that change. Choose what you want to do with the source and then select the options for that comand. You can copy a source from RootsMagic to FamilySearch, or from FamilySearch into RootsMagic, and you can also detach, tag or untag a source on FamilySearch. New: Task List report can optionally print all people using each taskixed: Custom events work properly with FamilySearch nowixed: Issues with sources not uploading to Ancestry when re-uploading a previously disconnected tree. Click to embiggen the imageĬlicking the checkbox in front of a source will bring up a screen with one or more options available for the source. You can view more details about a particular source by clicking the blue information icon to the right of the source name. Due to the speed (or lack thereof) of FamilySearch, the AutoMatch can take quite some time for a large database (but is still way faster than matching one person at a time manually). The source tab will display the sources attached to the RootsMagic person on the left and the sources attached to the FamilySearch person on the right. While RootsMagic will match up the person in your file with the record on FamilySearch, no data will be exchanged between RootsMagic and FamilySearch. You can still look for matches without transferring your data back and forth. Once a RootsMagic person has been matched to a person on FamilySearch, you may wish to compare and exchange sources between RootsMagic and FamilySearch. If you use the FamilySearch integration built into RootsMagic, you don’t have to copy any data from RootsMagic to FamilySearch (or vice versa) unless you want to. ![]() But let’s start with a quick overview first. We’ve gotten a lot of questions about this great feature, so we’ve created a short (12 min) video that shows exactly how to do this. As the only TreeShare+ certified program, RootsMagic is the only software certified to share sources with FamilySearch Family Tree.
