Copied below is the announcement we received yesterday from Ancestry. They will no longer be selling Family Tree Maker software after this year and will only support existing owners through January 1, 2017. Club members who have been using Family Tree Maker (some of us since the early 1990s!) will have to find another way to maintain our records.
Here is part of the email received from Ancestry:
"As we strive to provide our customers with the best experience possible, we are constantly evaluating our services and product offerings. True to this focus, we’ve taken a hard look at the declining desktop software market and the impact this has on being able to continue to provide new content, product enhancements and support that our users need. With that, we’ve made the tough decision to stop selling Family Tree Maker as of December 31, 2015.
We will continue to support existing Family Tree Maker owners at least through January 1, 2017. During this time, all features of the software, including TreeSync™ will continue to work. Our Member Services team will also remain available to assist with questions or issues you may have."
