Exporting a Branch of the Family Tree Using Family Tree Maker

[@myleftshoe9]

I appreciate that you are willing to discuss FTM, Ancestry, MyHeritage, etc. It shows you are a well-rounded teacher of genealogy.

Thanks

This was great. For some reason, even though I have been using FTM and Ancestry for many years, I had not thought about doing this.

Wow, I needed to do this yesterday! I found out that one of my DNA matches, our latest common ancestors being in the 18th Century, also shared my set of DNA links to Malta. I reasoned that the connection to Malta must have occurred through one of the ancestors of our latest common ancestors, and so I wanted to send him a pedigree beginning with our common ancestors and working back in time to as many of their predecessors as could be named. Unfortunately, I could think of no way to do this and I wasn't going to type out the entire list by hand. Apparently I could have done this through FTM.

very helpful, thanks!

Yep, if you want help, you pay or fail. But all about the help. I was looking for how to use Family Tree to export from Ancestory but obviously not here.

How do you get the dates up by the list of people on the left hand side

[@hrivett54]

Just found it 😊

[@anonemouse3768]

I wanted to do that and asked Ancestry so I knew it couldn't be done in Ancestry. I have to check out other apps that I already have.

I want to export the whole of a maternal line and it has been such a pain to separate from the paternal line. I still haven’t got it right.

[@GenealogyTV]

You need to pick either all descendants of a person or all ancestors of a person and export that as a branch.

[@dreamawhatley9609]

Ancestry really needs to create a way to join two trees. I've been researching another family and just found the link that joins our two families together. I was hoping to just merge the entire tree into mine, but I guess that's not happening. :( I'll continue watching.

[@GenealogyTV]

You really should verify the ancestors with records before importing so that your tree is accurate. Importing can add mistakes made by others.

@@GenealogyTV I'm definitely sourcing information before adding the person to my own tree.
