With the permission of Jackie Jones I am forwarding her information to our List. As well, Ancestry is only accepting comments up to December 22nd. So, please don't put off for tomorrow what can be done today.

If you use Ancestry and FTM I would urge you to go to the blog on Ancestry's website and leave a comment to say how your feel about their decision. http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2015/12/08/ancestry-to-retire-family-tree -maker-software/#comment-299850 There are currently over 4,000 "comments" on there and none of them are in support of this decision. Let's see if we can "help" them to see that they are shooting themselves in the foot !
