Thousands of FTM users have since <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ftm" target="_blank">made the switch</a> to RootsMagic. But the question everyone has been asking has been, “Will any other software be able to search and synchronize with Ancestry the same way that Family Tree Maker did?”</p> <p>Today, we finally have an answer to that question- <b>“Yes!”</b> We’re pleased to announce that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2016/02/02/good-news-for-users-of-family-tree-maker/" target="_blank">we will be working with Ancestry</a> to bring these features to RootsMagic in the near future.</p> <h2>What does this mean for you?</h2> <div style="text-align: center; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2635" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Anc-Icons.png" alt="Search, Sync, Import" width="410" height="128"/></div> <ol> <li><b>Search</b> – RootsMagic will be the only software besides FTM to search Ancestry’s extensive collections of historical records from around the world and let you download those records into your own file.</li> <li><b>Sync</b> – RootsMagic will be the only software besides FTM to let you share data between your RootsMagic files on your computer with your personal Ancestry online trees. You’ll also be able to download people, events, and even pictures from Ancestry onto your computer through RootsMagic.</li> <li><b>Import</b> – RootsMagic will be able to directly import your Family Tree Maker files, without having to go through an intermediate GEDCOM file, giving you the cleanest, most complete transfer of your data. RootsMagic will also be able to download your online trees from Ancestry.</li> </ol> <p>Yes, this is big news and we’re sure you have many questions about it.</p> <h2>Questions</h2> <p><b>Does this mean that Ancestry bought RootsMagic?</b></p> <p>No. RootsMagic is still the same independent software maker that we’ve always been. We’ve simply arranged to work with our friends at Ancestry to make this happen; just as we work with FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and other genealogy companies.</p> <p><b>Why are RootsMagic and Ancestry working together?</b></p> <p>This really is a win-win for both companies and their users. RootsMagic users will have convenient access to Ancestry’s vast collections of trees and records, as well as synchronizing with private online trees. Former Family Tree Maker users will have a path forward, importing their original FTM files while using the Ancestry hints and trees that they’ve come to depend on.</p> <p><strong>Will I have to buy a new version of RootsMagic to use these features?</strong></p> <p>If you are using the paid version of RootsMagic 7, these features will be included in a free update to that version. If you are using a version of RootsMagic older than 7, you will need to purchase an upgrade to 7 to use the features.</p> <p><b>When will these features be available?</b></p> <p>As is to be expected with something this big, it will not happen overnight. Both Ancestry and RootsMagic are dedicating considerable time and resources to make this happen. We anticipate having many of these features available later this year in an update to our RootsMagic 7 software.</p> <p><b>Are you the only other genealogy software working with Ancestry?</b></p> <p>Besides Family Tree Maker, yes.</p> <p><b>What if I don’t want to upload my data to Ancestry?</b></p> <p>Like all of our integrations with other companies, these features are completely optional. You’re free to use or ignore them as you like.</p> <p><b>Will I need an Ancestry subscription to use these features?</b></p> <p>Use of Ancestry features will require an Ancestry account, even if only as a free Registered Guest. The features and records available to you will depend on your subscription level.</p> <p><b>Will I still be able to use RootsMagic to work with FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and other companies?</b></p> <p>Of course. This will not affect any existing functionality in the RootsMagic software including sharing data with FamilySearch Family Tree and WebHints. In fact, these relationships give RootsMagic users the ability to access more records from more sources than any other software.</p> <p><b>I’m a Family Tree Maker user. Do I have to buy RootsMagic now?</b></p> <p>We certainly wouldn’t mind if you did <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"/> But seriously, Ancestry has stated that current versions of Family Tree Maker will work with their services through 2016. So you don’t have to make the switch immediately.</p> <p>We invite you to look at RootsMagic and its features and, if you like what you see, you’re welcome to make the transition whenever you feel ready. You may be willing to wait until the new Ancestry features are available or you may wish to get started right away. Whenever that time comes, please visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ftm" target="_blank">www.rootsmagic.com/ftm</a> for a special discount and instructions to help you make the change.</p> <p><strong>Will the sync work exactly like TreeSync in FTM?</strong></p> <p>Ancestry is working on a new API that both RootsMagic and FTM will be switching to (“API” is a fancy word for the system with which Ancestry can communicate with other products).</p> <p>The API is still in development, buy syncing in both RootsMagic and FTM will likely be a bit different than the current “TreeSync”. It will still allow you to share names, events, notes, sources, and even media between RootsMagic and Ancestry.</p> <p>Please visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ancestry" target="_blank">www.rootsmagic.com/ancestry</a> for more information.</p> <ul class="links"> <li class="icon jump"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2612#comments">Leave a comment...</a></li> <script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149js_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/http://feeds.rootsmagic.com/rootsmagic?i=http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2612" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="post_2606" class="post lead"> <h3 class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2606"><span>RootsMagic at RootsTech 2016: Discounts, Exhibit Hall, and a Prize Patrol!</span></a></h3> <ul class="metalinks"> <li class="icon author">Posted by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?author=2" title="Posts by Michael Booth" rel="author">Michael Booth</a></li> <li class="icon date">January 27, 2016</li> </ul> <br class="clear"/> <div class="content"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RootsTech2015.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2583" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RootsTech2015-1024x430.jpg" alt="RootsTech 2015" width="400" height="168"/></a></p> <p>We’re just one short week away from the largest genealogy event in the world: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/https://www.rootstech.org/">RootsTech</a>!

With the new year, we in the RootsMagic underground labs like to take a little break and reflect on all that has happened this past year. It’s been an eventful year for us full of loss and growth. Join us for this look back at what has happened in the RootsMagic world during 2015.</p> <h2>Loss in the RootsMagic Family</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2425"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2439" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/F-Inqueue-SE-Announcements-Booth-Gordon-jpg.jpg" alt="Gordon Dixon Booth" width="400" height="225"/></a></p> <p>2015 started out on a sad note. Gordon Dixon Booth passed away on Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Gordon is the father of Michael Booth, our vice-president, and a valued member of the RootsMagic family. He was passionate about family history, loved talking to people about our software, and was one of our best salespersons! He also became a popular presenter at conferences teaching classes on British research, photography, and personal histories. You can learn more about Gordon and his contributions in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2425">this tribute article</a>.</p> <h2>Conferences and Classes</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RootsTech2015.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2583" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RootsTech2015.jpg" alt="RootsTech 2015" width="400" height="168"/></a></p> <p>In 2015, we attended many genealogical events. The first and the biggest was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootstech.org/">RootsTech</a>. At RootsTech, we introduced badge ribbons and gave away prizes through our Prize Patrol.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Ribbon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2414" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Ribbon.jpg" alt="Ribbon" width="400" height="166"/></a></p> <p>We also attended conferences across the country where we taught classes, answered questions, and met face-to-face with fellow users.</p> <h2>User Groups and Magic Guides</h2> <p>We know that one of the reasons our loyal users love RootsMagic so much is that no other genealogy software provides the level of support and training that we do. Over the past four years, we have pioneered the use of “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/webinars">webinars</a>“, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagictv.com/">tutorial videos</a>, and weekly tip articles.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/guides"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2585" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Magic-Guides-Header-1024x102.png" alt="Magic Guides Header" width="400" height="40"/></a></p> <p>Different people learn in different ways. We’ve had many requests for written tutorials in addition to our videos. In 2015, we’ve added free “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/guides">Magic Guides</a>” to our many sources of support. Magic Guides are free, downloadable and printable handouts that cover a variety of topics.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/https://www.facebook.com/groups/rootsmagicusers"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2586" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/User-Group-Google-Community-Photo-2015-04-06.png" alt="RootsMagic User Group" width="400" height="400"/></a></p> <p>In 2015, we also created an online <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/https://www.facebook.com/groups/rootsmagicusers">RootsMagic User Group</a> and a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/https://www.facebook.com/groups/PersonalHistorianUsers">Personal Historian User Group</a> on Facebook. These groups are where you can connect with other RootsMagic users to ask questions, share ideas, and discuss how to use the software.</p> <p>Since their creation, over 7000 people have joined these groups, and they have taken on lives of their own where users support each other.</p> <h2>Windows 10</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2477"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2483" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/RM7-Win101-1024x576.png" alt="RootsMagic on Windows 10" width="400" height="225"/></a></p> <p>One of the biggest stories in the technology world was Microsoft’s release of Windows 10. Since it was a free update to most users of Windows 7 or higher, many people took the leap and upgraded. With some planning and testing on our part, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2477">all our products were prepared for Windows 10 on its day of release</a>. In spite of a last-minute change on Microsoft’s part that caused a few headaches, the upgrade went smoothly for most of our customers. No small feat considering the size and scope of the changes in Windows 10.</p> <h2>RootsMagic and Personal Historian for Mac</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/mac/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2588" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RMMac-1024x640.png" alt="RootsMagic for Mac" width="400" height="250"/></a></p> <p>In 2014, we announced “MacBridge”, an add-on purchase that allowed you to run RootsMagic on your Mac without Windows. In 2015, we did away with the separate purchase and consolidated it into “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/mac/">RootsMagic 7 for Mac</a>“. So now, one purchase of RootsMagic lets you run it on either Windows or Mac, no additional purchases or licenses required. Even our free “RootsMagic Essentials” is now available for Mac.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/personal-historian/mac/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2589" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/PHMac-1024x819.png" alt="" width="400" height="320"/></a></p> <p>But we didn’t stop there. We also released “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/personal-historian/mac/">Personal Historian 2 for Mac</a>“. Just like RootsMagic, one purchase of Personal Historian covers both Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as the free “Personal Historian Essentials”.</p> <h2>Personal Historian Book</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2512"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2513" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/PH2-Book-600-230x300.png" alt="Personal Historian 2: The Companion Guide" width="230" height="300"/></a></p> <p>On November 24, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/?p=2512">we released the long-awaited companion book</a> to our Personal Historian software. For years, we have been asked if there was a printed book to go along with our personal history writing software. We were excited to be finally able to say, “yes.” We’re especially pleased to see how well you all have received the book and how it is helping our you get the most out of the software.</p> <p>Don’t forget, for a very limited time, the book is still available at the discounted price of only $7.95 (plus shipping). That’s nearly half-off its regular price of $14.95. Simply <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://rootsmagic.com/Personal-Historian-Book/">visit our website</a> and add it to your cart to receive the discount.</p> <h2>A New Home for Family Tree Maker® Users</h2> <p>On December 8, Ancestry.com announced that they would be retiring their “Family Tree Maker®” (FTM) genealogy software. RootsMagic immediately <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ftm">welcomed Family Tree Maker users</a> with a special upgrade offer as well as videos and written tutorials on how to make the transition. We’ve even released updates to RootsMagic to better support FTM’s unique GEDCOM files to make the transition ever smoother.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ftm"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2552" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/RM-FTM-Blog-Header-2015-12.gif" alt="Family Tree Maker users have a new home" width="400" height="400"/></a></p> <p>Since then, thousands of Family Tree Maker users have made the switch to RootsMagic. And the feedback has been tremendous.</p> <blockquote><p>“Every day I am finding new features in this software that makes me grateful Ancestry made their announcement that drove us all to seek alternatives to <span class="highlight">FTM</span>. Have you even SEEN what DataClean can do? And here I was thinking I would have to manually fix all these things record by record…..and I didn’t even know about the website feature….feels like Christmas around here!” – Anni</p> <p>“So far, in 1 weeks time, I have to say, Better service. Being with <span class="highlight">FTM</span> since the 90’s, I NEVER remember users indicating an issue, and then an update to fix those issues being put out there in a matter of about 5 days.class than actually after gathering the issues. THATS service! I also don’t remember putting any kind of post, forums included, and having the top guys in the company reply usually in less than a couple hours That’s even Better service!” – Danielle</p></blockquote> <p>If you’re a Family Tree Maker refugee and still haven’t made the switch, be sure to take advantage of our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.rootsmagic.com/ftm">special upgrade offer</a> for FTM users.</p> <h2> Awards</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.tamurajones.net/GeneAwards2015.xhtml"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Geneaward2015Red.png" alt="GeneAward 2015" width="256" height="256"/></a></p> <p>With the end of each year come awards. We’re pleased to have won the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.tamurajones.net/GeneAwards2015.xhtml">GeneAward for “Best Genealogy Product of 2015″</a> for the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">7th year in a row</span>. As the reviewer put it,</p> <blockquote><p>“I hate to say that RootsMagic is still the overall best genealogy application. I hate to say that, because I’d like to see some other vendors close the gap and give them some serious competition.”</p></blockquote> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.gensoftreviews.com/?p=12" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2597" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149im_/http://blog.rootsmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/GenSoft-RootsMagic-2015.jpg" alt="GenSoftReviews RootsMagic 2015" width="362" height="170"/></a></p> <p><b>UPDATE:</b> We’ve also received the “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160306055149/http://www.gensoftreviews.com/?p=12" target="_blank">Top Rated Genealogy Software</a>” award from GenSoftReviews Users’ Choice Awards. This award is also one that we’ve received for the 7th year in a row. This award is based on reviews submitted by actual users of genealogy software. The glowing reviews on the page speak for themselves.</p> <h2>Thank You!</h2> <p>I know we say this every year, but we mean it when we say that none of this would have been possible without you and your support. We are grateful for the wonderful feedback, enthusiasm, and encouragement that we receive from our community. We hope that our work is deserving of your trust and support. 2015 has been an amazing year for us thanks to you, and we’re working hard to make 2016 even better!</p> <ul class="links"> <li
