The Retirement Of Ancestry Connection Services
The older editions such as FTM 2014.1 for Windows, FTM 3.1 for Mac, and the earlier versions:
- In the year of March 2017, there was an announcement by MacKiev made together with Ancestry on the retirement of TreeSync and its replacement with FamilySync. The announcement was also that going forward; Ancestry connection services such as sync, Ancestry hints, search, and merge features would be available only in version FTM 2017.
- However, it was clear, that getting the new system ready was going to take longer than planned. Ancestry volunteered to temporarily keep all the connection services apart from sync running until FTM 2017 is not completed.
- And when FTM 2017 was officially released, then on July 17, 2017 ancestry hints, search, merge and all other features of the required Ancestry connection were retired for the older editions. Therefore you will now find all these connection services available only on FTM 2017.
