Click the Media tab then click the Download Image if Available button. Now to reattach a record image, go to the Sources workspace. A message tells you when the process is complete. If you choose to import the tree, you will be prompted to enter a name for the tree and save it if you choose to merge the file with an existing tree, the Merge Wizard will open and guide you through merging the trees.
Now, back to downloading trees. When you download your Ancestry tree, it will include all the facts, sources, and images you have manually attached to individuals. If you have linked records to your tree, the downloaded tree will include only the information and sources associated with the records, not the actual record images (I'll show you how to reattach these records below). This is a complex issue and while we cannot say for certain when it will be resolved, it is an important priority that we are actively working on. Our customers frequently ask for more ability to synchronize and transfer data between Family Tree Maker and Ancestry Member Trees, and we want to assure you that we are listening.
As I am sure many of you have questions about is handling this issue, I am including this official statement, which I hope clarifies the company's position. As someone who uses Family Tree Maker on a daily basis and also has multiple Ancestry Member Trees, I understand everyone's desire for this feature-and the urgency behind it. Obviously, I can't mention Ancestry Member Trees without raising the synchronization issue.
Fortunately, in Family Tree Maker 20, you can quickly download your Ancestry tree into Family Tree Maker and either keep it as a separate tree or merge it with one of your existing files.
And if you're like me, you're not very diligent about making sure that all your trees contain the same information. I think there are many of us who have a main working' Family Tree Maker database but also have trees on that we use for sharing and gathering information. Two weeks ago at Boston Ancestry Day, I was asked a lot of questions about how to download an Ancestry Member Tree into Family Tree Maker.
