Well, cool - it was just taking a long-time to work. One day I had tried again, and went in to watch TV and take a nap, and - whoa - it had worked. It froze for a long time and I had to C-A-D my way out of RM8.
After adding more new profiles and updating thousands of profiles in the mean time - not least of which was the Family tree Analyzer rabbit hole last week - I carried on using TreeShare to add new profiles and update existing profiles in the new AMT several times a week.Ĥ) About two weeks ago, TreeShare stopped working for me. What happened?ģ) I was told - and I forget by whom being of a certain age - in January 2022 that there was a flaw in the API that transferred data from RM8 to the new AMT - "Other" sources were not added. However, after some time using it, I noticed that the new AMT did not have any source citations? Huh? I had 140,000 source citations, most of them free-form adhering close to Evidence Explained models. With over 66,000 profiles, it took the best part of a day to upload, but it did - I set it off before going to bed one night. My research didn't stop - it kept going but now I needed to update the existing Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) using RootsMagic 8 (RM8).Īfter a week of trying to make the RM8 file work with the existing AMT, I gave up because it was obvious something was messed up and it would never work.Ģ) In mid-October 2021, I decoupled my RM8 database from the existing AMT, and uploaded my RM8 file to a brand new AMT. This week's Rabbit Hole was to figure out what's wrong with my RootsMagic 8 family tree database vis-a-vis with my Ancestry Member Tree.ġ) When RootsMagic 8 was released on 30 September 2021, I jumped into it, learning all about the new navigation, new index, new source citation process, etc.
