Ancestry Blog

The Ancestry blog has been interesting this past week, as comments are piling up regarding the "new" Ancestry and the decision to retire Family Tree Maker.

The response to the Family Tree Maker issue has generated almost 9000 comments--almost entirely negative. No one seems hopeful that their unhappiness will make any difference in the decision, however. It is probably time to weigh options and consider other genealogy software.

Almost 900 users have posted complaints about the "new" Ancestry. Most of the comments involve changes made in the family tree section of Ancestry, where they have added a "familystory" as well as changes in the look of the database.

It is an interesting read, if you have some spare time. The blog can be reached at the very bottom of Ancestry's home page.
