I think that FMP is now owned by the company that owns Myheritage. AFTC magazine reports that they bought Origins.net I left Myheritage for their distortion of the English language to justify their marketing policies. I replied to another letter to the editor of AFTC saying they were adding to her tree links to another product, then wanting a subscription to that to remove them. Another accusation was that they removed negative feedback from their online blog, leaving only the positive stuff. They make Ancestry.com much more appealing. Another company trying to alienate its customers by high-pressure salesmanship. Although they claim to be from London, their published owners are (or were) in Israel. Doug.
