How to buy Family Tree Maker version 2014
As I would like to use what is best I tried to buy Family Tree Maker version 2014 and after some calls and googling I found out that
- From the US you can't buy it as they don't accept Sweden as country you pay from (tested 2013-dec)
- In Swedish Ancestry they just promote the Free old version Family Tree Maker World Express
- Solution after speaking with Family Tree support in Ireland is buy from Ancestry in the uk. Then you can download the version and pay with a credit card ==>

- Asked at Apple Store with no success
In the picture below my restore process has been the following using Adobe Photo Elements (old version)
- Used the Straighten
- Cropped the photo so we got the original text and some frame around the picture
- Changed the levels of the Histogram to get more contrast
- Used the Clone Stamp Tool to repair the cracks

Test Flip Pal Mobile scanner first impression
This is the first test of the Flip Pal Scanner the idea is to get an easy solution for scanning pictures see Using Iphone to Scan. The scanner was delivered in 3 days from Genealogysupplies in UK
I bought just the Scanner and got a 2 Gbyte memory card included. Think it would have been better to also buy case to store the scanner in.
This is a test of the Flip Pal Mobile scanner. First impression is easy to use and useful with 600DPI and the possibility to use battery makes it a portable and easy to carry solution.
It was easy to get started. A quick manual how to change the DPI and start the bundled software. The software included lacks the latest design and feels more like old windows software but it works. See also my blog about what software to use for image processing. The software included looks as Sexy as this with its retro feeling

"Serious photographers who want the best possible scans won't be satisfied with the results, but most people will find them more than good enough, even for printing out additional copies suitable for framing."

Svalkan Ulriksdal Frans Josef Lindner
Goal: To get more information about when Frans Josef Lindner arrived to Sweden 186? see story on Ancestry
Mellan Svalkan och Villa Skogsborg
Åren 1814-1819 nyttjade inte kungahuset Ulriksdal. En del av slottets personalbostäder började arrenderas ut för sommarboende. Med tiden uppläts även obebyggd mark mot att arrendatorn byggde hus för egna medel. Det första blev Svalkan 1877, som sedan 1936 är Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsens sommarhem. Huset brann ned 1953 och ersattes med ett nytt.
Svalkan uppfördes som sommarställe 1877 av skrivläraren Fredrik Funk, som bl a undervisade prinsarna Oskar och Carl i skönskrift Sedan 1936 har det varit Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsens sommarhem. Det äldsta bostadshuset brann ner 1953, och ersattes två år senare av den nuvarande föreningsgården.

Dzień Dobry! Projekt jest przeznaczony dla każdego potomka w linii męskiej lub żeńskiej osoby zamieszkującej tereny ziem polskich - to jest należące dawnego Królestwa Polskiego z X-XVI w. oraz Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów z okresu XVI-XVIII w. (po Unii Polsko-Litewskiej). Ziemie te odpowiadają terenom dzisiejszej Polski, Litwy, Łotwy, Białorusi i Ukrainy. W XIX w. okresie zaborów tereny te funkcjonowały pod lokalnymi nazwami jak: Królestwo Galicji, Śląsk, Księstwo Poznańskie, lub zostały włączone bezpośrednio do struktur państw zaborczych Rosji, Prus i Austrii. Dlatego też obowiązuje kryterium geograficzne, mimo iż polscy przodkowie mogli funkcjonować w dokumentach takich jak metryki, spisy, listy pasażerskie jako mieszkańcy Rosji, Prus czy Austrii.

Ancestry.com
My usage of Ancestry.com
I have a Word De Luxe subscription 1995 Skr/year (maybe I will change it feels expensive and I need to complement with other tools e.g. Arkiv Digital has much better quality from the Swedish Churchbooks)- I have been interested in doing my own Family Tree for more than 10 years ago. I have been "testing" a Swedish product called DISgen but never did a serious try. My son did some years ago some research by studing in the Swedish Church books.
- Then I started to use the web version of Ancestry.com and shared it with my son who also updated it
- This year 2013 I have bought Family Tree Maker 2014 (FTM) from ancestry.co.uk as the free Swedish version is not a full version. (Was more complicated than necessary to buy 2014 I had to call support....)
- FTM 2014 on windows feels like a professional and easy tool to use and has more functionality than just using the webinterface
- There is a great support in the youtube channel and also after some navigating there are good articles on the Web BUT you feel you miss some action from the Ancestry.com people regarding supporting standards like ITPC, you miss a professional explanation how to use places and locations so it address problems like multilanguage, location based genealogy, how to handle non ASCII languages. The feeling I have is that Ancestry miss some kind of edge knowledge or that I havn't found the best people to chat with
- I use the Iphone app to display the tree and sometime update it from the app
- Tested the Iphone application Shoebox for uploading pictures to my tree not sure if it is the right tool as I am evaluating Flip Pal mobile and then you will
- Scan the picture
- Process the image to get better quality
- Upload to the Image tree
Iphone App Nice application where you can update some attributes like location and resolve the location but not add a place description.... |
Next step
How to improve my usage of Ancestry and Family Tree Manager 2014
- Training Släktforskning grund where the teacher Ulf Berggren is well skilled in Blacksmiths
- Read some books the Companion Guide mentioned below
- Start scanning pictures and document them see about scanning picture

Locations and Location based genealogy
Goal how to get an approach how to add places/locations in the best way regarding to
Youtube video about places and resolving the names so that the software recognize them. At 24:00 how to create a report about a place
- non standardized names
- names has changed over time 4:40, 5:20, 5:50
- create reports for a place 20:20, 23:15, 23:45 (filtering person list based on area 22:10)
- using description for a non incorporated place 8:50
- using the GPS location 10:01 (can be used for position a grave, a specific house...)
- displaying all that action that belongs to an area
- how to add an non actual place (e.g. World War in Description field and as place use USA 13:30)
- Have to detailed information/granularity e.g. a cementary location 14:40, 19:45
- Historic place name or actual place name 15:40 (solution is place name is the current and in the description is the historical name)
- A place has changed county 17:40 (Description gets the original county)
FTM 2014 and Place importance
Submitting place names for Family Tree Maker
Merging place names in Family Tree Maker
How do I view a migration map for people in Family Tree Maker?
Using ancestry.com to set locations see Josef Lindner
1. Click on the life event in the left column
2. Click on Move this Pin
3. Move the pin to wanted location and save
The place below is at Edsviken and is the house that my Ancestor Josef Lindner I think built. He is in the churchbook mentioned on the page for this house and I have found indications that it was a small summerhouse built to one of the persons working for the king. Today it is a Cafe and you can rent a room(which I will do to in memory to Mr Lindner ;-) )
Immigration paths
FTM2014 - Places Workspace Views
When you resolve a place you need to find a match in the list above
Högsjö, Södermanland, Stockholm
Then the additional info goes to the Place detail field ==> Utansjö bruk
My feeling is that this is sent to Ancestry.com as one field ==>
Utansjö bruk, Högsjö, Södermanland, Stockholm
==> we have no structure of a lot of places compare Utanbygatan 6 A that should be in the structure above under Västmanland
- Interact with other when exporting using GEDCOM (think about the DNA matching)
- GEDCOM 5.5.1 has some support for a better location model
- Better do location based genealogy (see ancestry youtube video at 24:20) ==> the software needs to understand the notation used to locate it on the map
- Easy find which people have an event in this town or area ->
- use location named that are resoved
- Which people are buried in this graveyard and where are they located ->
- possibility to add the name of the graveyard and also the location and the type of event
- When I am at a place easy document the building they lived in with a GPS coordinate and pictures
- Be more clear and also use the possibility in Family Tree 2014 with GPS coordinates for example what building an event happened, or where a grave is located
- Get a correct time document if something is happening in Wroclaw 2013 then use the Polish name not the German name that was the name of the town earlier
Done
- 20140228 all places are changed to resolved on the map ==> in description the additional information is like a block or what hous

The place below is at Edsviken and is the house that my Ancestor Josef Lindner I think built. He is in the churchbook mentioned on the page for this house and I have found indications that it was a small summerhouse built to one of the persons working for the king. Today it is a Cafe and you can rent a room(which I will do to in memory to Mr Lindner ;-) )

FTM Problem
When you resolve a place you need to find a match in the list above
Högsjö, Södermanland, Stockholm
Then the additional info goes to the Place detail field ==> Utansjö bruk
My feeling is that this is sent to Ancestry.com as one field ==>
Utansjö bruk, Högsjö, Södermanland, Stockholm
==> we loose the information that we have splitted the field. This information is just in the windows database FTM 2014
If we unlink the tree from FTM and relink and download the tree from Ancestry.com we just get everything unresolved ===>
==> we have no structure of a lot of places compare Utanbygatan 6 A that should be in the structure above under Västmanland
