In the list of sources it had the Title of the source and the FS link in the URL - said this new patron who used MH created the source. I went to one this afternoon that I knew came from FS - a marriage record from Maine. He talked about this being a Slave and Master situation where the Master is MyHeritage and all changes are made byMH and FS has no say in the matter.Īll I know is on my ancestors all their sources say "created by MH" - even the ones that were obviously created in source tracker. He even talked about the sources - but didn't specifically mention that the FS sources would lose their FS identity. Robert Givens said: Chas - Yes, he admitted that MyHeritage was able to sync with one press of a button. To place something like that under computer control is something that needs to stop, actually, it should never have happened in the first place. Any action like that which I understand happens to the FSFT records, must be individually controllable. Any changes you want to make from Ancestry to FSFT is one event at a time and you must provide a reason statement.įrom what I understand, there is no reason requirement during the MyHeritage synchronization process.

Each person in an Ancestry tree must be linked to the person in FamilySearch FamilyTree (FSFT).

They are more in line with the certified family tree management programs. They are far too intrusive and destructive to allow them to continue to access the tree though my account.Īncestry is not nearly as difficult to work with. Click on the Blue "Revoke Access" button next the site you do not want to allow access to your account.īecause of the way that MyHeritage is working, and given Ron Tanner's comments on what is happening with that site, I have revoked access to that site.

Collaboration is one thing - but this is a destructive feature that I feel should be shut down immediately. I have no clue where to even start or if it is even worth it to try to fix things. We have worked for years to get this pedigree accurate and well documented with FS record sources and now no Record sources are linked any more.

has 26 changes and Benjamin Carter has 46 changes. In my LDS line that I have checked my ancestor William Furlsbury Carter has 210 changes in the change log from one user. PLUS, and this is the worse thing, it somehow is able to remove the links for the sources from Records at FamilySearch so no sources are now showing as being used in FamilySearch. Then the process goes and adds everything that is on the MyHeritage person only to the person in Tree. The MyHeritage person is the primary person in this syncing process so any sources not found on the MyHeritage person are automatically deleted from the person in Tree. Robert Givens said: MyHeritage has just announced a new feature that allows users of their site to sync the people in their MyHeritage tree with the corresponding person in FamilySearch Family Tree.
