<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> <strong>Maker</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

13<br />

Creating a new tree on the Plan workspace.<br />

• Enter what you know. If this is your first time working on a<br />

family tree, you’ll want to use this option. Enter a few brief facts<br />

about you and your parents, and you’re on your way.<br />

• Import a tree from an existing file. If you already have a file<br />

you’ve created or received from another family member, you can<br />

import it. You can import files from previous versions of <strong>Family</strong><br />

<strong>Tree</strong> <strong>Maker</strong>, GEDCOMs, <strong>Family</strong>Search Personal Ancestral Files<br />

(PAFs), Legacy <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> files, and The Master Genealogist files.<br />

• Download a tree from Ancestry. If you’ve created a family<br />

tree on Ancestry.com, you don’t need to start over in <strong>Family</strong><br />

<strong>Tree</strong> <strong>Maker</strong>; you can download the tree to your desktop. It will<br />

include not only your names, dates, and places, but all the facts,<br />

sources, and images you have manually attached to the tree.<br />

And if you use <strong>Tree</strong>Sync to keep your trees linked together, you<br />

can update either tree and the changes can be synchronized<br />

with the other tree automatically.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
