Help to Add Custom Facts to Family Tree Maker

Posted by John Walker on December 30th, 2018

In the "Family Tree Maker – Mac Version" Facebook gathering, there was a discussion as of late about Family Tree Maker's DNA Markers actuality. A few people didn't understand that the reality was accessible, and others brought up that it was of minimal use due to its arrangement (I concur with this evaluation).

I like to add custom actualities to Family Tree Maker to suit my own examination work process, and I had done this with DNA data.

In spite of the fact that I am not utilizing the DNA Markers reality (I discover DNA markers are too perplexing to ever be taken care of successfully within FTM so I use Genome Mate Pro—which isn't for the black out of heart—for that), I had included a GEDmatch Kit # truth to stay aware of the pack numbers for my affirmed matches.

One thing I understood from the discussion is that not every person realizes how to add custom actualities to Family Tree Maker. There is a considerable rundown of realities accessible in the Fact Manager. You are presumably acquainted with the default actualities like Name, Birth, Death, Marriage, and possibly with less regularly utilized realities, for example, Elected or Origin. What you may not understand is that you can add custom realities valuable to you, for example, Facebook Profile, DNA Kit #, Cell Phone #, and that's just the beginning.

We will stroll through the way toward adding a reality to Family Tree Maker Help, however I prescribe backing up your information document before rolling out any improvements. Likewise, remember that transforms you make to the rundown of certainties will be per database, so on the off chance that you have different databases the progressions should be made to every one. My form is the Mac variant, yet MacKiev has streamlined the Windows and Mac adaptations to the point that directions for one form should work for both.
