Family Tree Maker <-> WikiTree

Question

I am considering writing a plugin for Family Tree Maker that would allow you to import/export/modify records on WikiTree.

Is this something that people would be interested in.  I guess I'm trying to get a feel for how may people using WikiTree also use Family Tree Maker.

Thanks,

Pace

I use Legacy, MyHeritage, and Roots Magic for my off line tree makers. Just checked out Family tree maker and costs more money then I can afford. Maybe if you do one of these I might go along with the idea.

Please provide us with the plugin! I'm manually typing things from wikitree into my ancestry family tree maker software; which doesn't bring over any of the sources.

Answer 1

I use both of them Pace. I can see the import or export but I wouldn't use the modify - too many ways to make a mess of each of the profiles. And Import from Family Tree Maker should be to a brand new profile.

Answer 2

I also use both.  I guess I'd prefer FTM as the primary source - backed up on my PC at home.  But it would help to export people to WikiTree so I can keep adding to that version.  I like the idea of having links to a master tree in WikiTree. My sources are a mess, currently, so that might cause some issues.  I don't really understand the standards for applying sources at WikiTree as yet.
