With its new TreeSync™ capabilities, Family Tree Maker 2012 enables family history
enthusiasts to sync their desktop family trees and their online trees at Ancestry.com.
With TreeSync now you can access and update your tree wherever you are whether it’s
through Family Tree Maker, Ancestry.com, or using the Ancestry iPhone or iPad apps.
And sharing your tree is easier than ever. Simply email invitations to family and
friends and they can view your online tree or collaborate with you.
Other improvements in Family Tree Maker 2012 include:
Easy-to-understand combined family view. The family group view has a new “blended
families” option that lets you display all of a couple’s children in one location,
including step-children and adoptees. An icon next to a child’s name lets you see
at a glance whether he or she is the child of the father, the mother, or both parents.
Simplified interface for new users. When you install Family Tree Maker 2012, the
software detects whether you are upgrading from a previous version of Family Tree
Maker (version 16 or earlier). If you are, Family Tree Maker will display a simplified
user interface that looks more like the older versions of Family Tree Maker.
Improved Smart Stories. More content-generation and editing options help you create
engaging stories about family members.
New and improved reports. The Notes Report has been enhanced so you can display person,
research, relationship, or fact notes you’ve entered for individuals. A new Index
of Individuals Report lists every individual in your tree and their birth, marriage,
and death dates in an easy-to-understand format. In addition, you can customize the
descriptive sentences used in genealogy reports and Smart Stories.
More chart options. The Descendant Chart has a new option that lets you show the
relationship between two people you select. You can also display generation labels
(such as parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents) in charts to highlight the
relationship between the primary person in the chart and other family members. And
you can now personalize charts by adding your own free-form text boxes.
New and updated Help and tutorials. Learn how to do more—like creating trees and
using Ancestry.com features—with new and improved tutorials accessible in the software
and on FamilyTreeMaker.com.
