I&#8217;m excited to give you an exclusive look at some long-awaited new features coming to RootsMagic 7. (Keep in mind that these features are still under development and may change before they are officially released). So here&#8217;s your first look at two of these new integrations with Ancestry.<\/p>\n<h3>TreeShare<\/h3>\n<p>Our upcoming TreeShare for Ancestry allows you to connect your RootsMagic data with an Ancestry Member Tree.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-01.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2984\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-01.png\" alt=\"TreeShare-01\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-01.png 783w, http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-01-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once connected, you can quickly find differences and share data between the two trees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-02.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2986\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-02.png\" alt=\"TreeShare-02\" width=\"400\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-02.png 1000w, http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/TreeShare-02-300x181.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>WebHints<\/h3>\n<p>RootsMagic 7&#8217;s WebHints feature automatically searches for matching records from many providers including FamilySearch, Findmypast, and MyHeritage. And coming soon to this list is Ancestry! Just click on a light bulb next to a person&#8217;s name and you&#8217;ll see the WebHints screen:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Anc-WebHints-B01.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2978\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Anc-WebHints-B01.png\" alt=\"Anc-WebHints-B01\" width=\"399\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Anc-WebHints-B01.png 553w, http:\/\/blog.rootsmagic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Anc-WebHints-B01-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click on &#8220;Ancestry,&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see a list of matching records from Ancestry&#8217;s many collections.
