Ancestry has continued making it better all year long, releasing updates along the way to improve our experience.  

And now Ancestry is giving us one big bonus update to Family Tree Maker 2012. 

In fact, this update is so good, Ancestry decided not to even release a new version of Family Tree Maker for 2013.

Here are some of the bonus updates added to Family Tree Maker 2012:

• Numerous enhancements to TreeSync so syncing your tree to Ancestry . com is faster and more reliable

• A new Family View Report that displays a person’s ancestors, spouse and children together

• Place names and associated people listed hierarchically by country, state, county, city and detail

• Ability to mark media items as private so they don’t sync or export

• Web links you can add to a person via the new web links tab in People collection and People detail

How do you get the latest bonus 2012 update?*  Family Tree Maker will automatically prompt you to install it when you’re using the program while online.
