Family Tree Maker 2019 by MacKiev introduced a revolutionary feature called TreeVault Cloud Services, aimed at enhancing the way users preserve and access their family history data. Unlike typical cloud storage services such as Google Drive or Dropbox, TreeVault is specifically built for genealogical data. It not only provides backup but also ensures your tree remains intact and accessible even during emergencies.
What Are Tree Vault Cloud Services?
TreeVault Cloud Services is a companion feature in FTM 2019 that lets you securely sync your family tree to the cloud. This way, you always have a trusted backup in case your device crashes or is lost. When you initially buy FTM 2019, you receive a complimentary one-year subscription to TreeVault.
Key Features of TreeVault Cloud
1. Antenna Tree
When you upload your family tree to TreeVault, it builds a live, real-time copy named the Antenna Tree. This source tree reflects all your updates in your Family Tree Maker program. In case you need to reinstall or restore your tree one day, you can download the latest copy from the cloud with everything preserved.
2. Emergency Tree Restore
Losing your access to computers does not lose years of research on genealogy. With TreeVault’s Emergency Tree Restore, you can immediately recover your tree from TreeVault. Simply access your TreeVault account and recover your most current Antenna Tree in minutes.
3. Family Tree Maker Connect App
This smartphone app enables you to see your tree on smartphones and tablets. On both the App Store and Google Play, you can download the FTM Connect app, which enables you to sign in to your TreeVault account and explore your family tree at any time, any place. Keep in mind that editing is not enabled—this app is only for viewing.
4. Next of Kin
MacKiev knows the value of legacy. TreeVault enables you to appoint a successor who will inherit your family tree information after your death. You can create a certificate, distribute it to your successor, and have your hard work continue to serve future generations.
5. Historical Weather
TreeVault also provides a special touch to your family history—Historical Weather Reports. When you record important dates, such as a birthday or wedding anniversary, TreeVault can provide you with the weather on that specific day and place, providing a richer historical background to your records.
Subscription Information
TreeVault Cloud Services are included for free for the initial year with your FTM 2019 acquisition. Following the trial period, you will need to pay for a subscription to use the service thereafter. Note that we are not related to MacKiev in any way—this is an independent support service, and a fee is charged for our premium support.
Conclusion
TreeVault Cloud Services is a strong and considerate extension to Family Tree Maker 2019. It not only keeps your family history safe and available but also enriches it with special features such as historical weather and the option to leave your heritage to the next generation. From amateur to professional genealogist, TreeVault provides peace of mind and a new method for maintaining your ancestry.
