Merging information shown when the FamilySearch HINT is activated in Family Tree Maker.

I have been using FamilySearch for several years but have only recently started using the information given when I use the HINT facility in Family Tree Maker. Is it possible to 'Download' or extract in some way the information given when using the HINT? It is very time consuming trying to extract the names and details so as to incorporate them into my tree. Regards

FYI

.

From the outset ...

I am NOT a User/Patron of "Family Tree Maker" ...

I just took a look in the "Solution Gallery" in 'FamilySearch' ...

.

And ...

Found this ...

DID NOT matter whether it was the, "Windows"; or, "Apple"/Mac", versions ...

.

.

✔️ This app can read information from your FamilySearch Account

❌️ This app cannot update information into your FamilySearch Account

❌️ This app cannot support LDS Features

.

It does NOT look promising ...

Thanks Brett. The route you set me on is great, thank you. However when using FTM and going about 'Downloading a Tree from FamilySearch' it will only allow me to proceed with Me as the home person. When I select Person ID I cannot enter or change the shown Ghost ID. Have you any clues? Regards James

Sorry Brett but you must think I am a fool. Having sent my reply a few minutes ago I went back to FTM and it worked OK. Regards James.

'No', I certainly DO NOT think you are a fool ...

We have all ... been there, done that ...

NONE of us are perfect ...

Least of all, me, constantly, 'fowling up' ... big time, sometimes ...

I am sorry, I cannot be of any help with "Family Tree Maker" ...

I do not use any of those "Third Party" Applications; but, I have looked, at them.

[ Played around with them; but, now, just concentrate on/in "Family Tree" ...

.. I just "Watch" (Oops, sorry, "Follow") many, check the "Changes" x2 Daily ]

I hope you sort it out.

Hopefully, another User/Patron who uses "Family Tree Maker" will join in.

Good Luck.

Brett
