Note: This version of FamilyInsight works with FamilySearch family tree (new.familysearch.org). If you do not have a log in for the actual FamilySearch family tree (new.familysearch.org) you will be unable to use the "Full Synchronization" and "Simple Update Modes" unless you have someone to sign in as your helper in Helper Mode.

We will be updating frequently so please install these updates as they become available. The automatic updates will check for updates and download the latest installer as it becomes available. You should then run that installer when notified that it has been download on your machine.

Changes were made to the new FamilySearch website Dec 13, 2010 that will make it so that versions earlier than the August 2010 will not connect to the FamilySearch website. To prevent this lack of connection please update to a current version. If your period of free updates has ended, you may get an Update License to extend your period of updates. For more information on Update Licenses Click Here.

Installation

• You must have Window 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 or a Mac to run FamilyInsight.
• Once you start using FamilyInsight to synchronize your file with new FamilySearch, you should not save that same file in PAF Insight as there is new data from New FamilySearch that is not be saved in PAF Insight.
• Please exit Personal Ancestral File (PAF) completely before installing FamilyInsight.

NOTICE: The first time you run FamilyInsight after updating or installing it, you need to be sure your firewall program will allow it to access the Internet. Typically a firewall will pop up a notice that asks if you want to block FamilyInsight. You must change the settings on this popup notice to always allow FamilyInsight to access the internet. If you just click OK, without changing the settings, you may need to manually configure the firewall to allow FamilyInsight to access the Internet.

We recommend that all computers be protected by a firewall.

If you have a new computer or for some reason need to reinstall and your update period has expired, you do not have to extend the update period. You may install an older version that was included in your free update period.
