    3. Honestly, the only reason I moved to and use FTM is because it was easier to capture data from Ancestry.com and then sync it with my desktop copy..... Of course, I had to do without many features I liked.  FTM works well in many ways..... but, IMO it's missing some basic functionality that impacts usability, both from the perspective of the person using the tool and those I am sharing it with who are more often than not viewing the material online.....  From: H R Worthington <rworthington@att.net> To: Debbie <growingatree@hotmail.com>; John Donaldson <johndd@iinet.net.au>; "ftm-tech@rootsweb.com" <ftm-tech@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2015 9:35 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] The Great Debate Debbie, It really appears that you like ALL of the features in Legacy. WHY stick with a program that you don't like? I have Legacy on my PC but rarely use it because FTM2014 works better for me.

It would be wonderful to have the title appear with the name when viewing the content in FTM and AMT.   As I mentioned in a previous email, I'm not someone who haphazardly assigns the "never married" and "never had children" switch (in Legacy).  But, when I have documents that tell me for sure that the individual died unmarried and without children, I certainly want to be able to record that and do so in a way that's apparent... to me and others who might be accessing my information.  These are but some of the reasons that I very reluctantly switched over from Legacy to FTM..... and still, oftentimes, want to switch back.
