Hi Margaret Presumably this tablet would have internet capabilities ? Are you using FTM 2012 ? If so and you synch a tree with Ancestry, you would not need to have FTM on the tablet, with internet connection you could gain full access to your tree and be able to edit it The edited tree would then in turn synch with the tree on your home computer with FTM on it The tree on Ancestry can be private and unindexed, ie would not come up in searches on Ancestry Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/08/2013 17:19, Margaret McNab wrote: > hi everybody, > Has anyone tried to use FTM program on a windows surface tablet? > Im thinking of buying one but need to know first if they are compatable > > Thanks, > Margaret Ontario
