What is a TreeVault Antenna Tree in Family Tree Maker?
A TreeVault Antenna Tree is a copy of your Family Tree Maker 2019 tree that is safely stored in the TreeVault cloud. Unlike synchronization with Ancestry, an Antenna Tree contains items such as change logs and web links that are not synchronized with Ancestry. It is primarily utilized for:
- Emergency tree recovery in the event of data loss.
- Accessing your tree on mobile devices via the Family Tree Maker Connect app.
- Keeping a cloud-based backup that is independent of Ancestry synchronization.
However, note that the Antenna Tree is not meant to replace your primary ancestor tree. It cannot be shared with others directly, but it can be linked with Ancestry for broader accessibility.
