    1. [CHS] Family history programs

    3. My sincere apologies if a comment on family history programs is seen as being out of order here. The current issue of Cheshire Ancestor contains an item on alternative programs. I have used Family Tree Maker for many years and I have often started to investigate alternatives but I have always decided not to change for one critical reason. I have an Ancestry subscription and FTM has a "Web Search Resources" button on each person's page which very quickly lists all Ancestry record links which match (or nearly match) that person's data no matter how brief it might be. This usually saves a vast amount of searching time but I have not seen the facility mentioned as plus point for FTM . FTM is by no means perfect and I would seriously consider a program change if something similar (not necessarily Ancestry based) was available on an alternative one even including a change of subscription.
