RootsMagic TreeShare and WebHints for Ancestry

Upload or download your tree

With TreeShare for Ancestry, you can move data between your RootsMagic files and your Ancestry online trees. Upload your RootsMagic file to a new Ancestry tree, or download an existing Ancestry tree into a new RootsMagic file. People, events, notes, sources, and even photos come along.

How to download your Ancestry tree

Share changes on your terms

TreeShare compares each person in RootsMagic with your Ancestry tree, side by side, and highlights what’s different. Choose the changes to send or bring back. Nothing moves without your approval.

It’s easy to collaborate: family members with access to your Ancestry tree can review and update it, while you keep your RootsMagic file up to date with the changes you choose to bring in. (Full version.)

Ancestry hints inside RootsMagic

RootsMagic brings in your Ancestry hints to suggest possible matches. As hints appear, review them inside RootsMagic without switching programs: compare each record with your person, then accept or reject it.

Add new records, documents, and media from Ancestry directly into your RootsMagic file, on your terms, so your family history grows with reliable sources. (Full version.)
