Thank heavens for that--I still find FamilyTree the worst piece of Work I have ever seen. The little window and then switching to Full screen and trying to add anything is awful. It certainly Does not compare with nfs in ease of use---I thought the idea was To make it simple. In simple, FamilyTree makes it much harder and is difficult to use.

You are saying essentially what I thought I said, so I'm not under the wrong impression. NFS is the main program right now that we are currently using. Family Tree is where this is going, but it is not fully programmed yet. I don't know how you can say it isn't in the introduction phase yet when it has been on the Labs website for a very long time. Most of the people I know are using both programs at this point, trying to use whichever one has the better function for what they are trying to do. Eventually, Family Tree will be fully programmed and the official transition will begin. Steve commented that Family Tree is difficult to use, and I agree. I'm hopeful that with feedback it will continue to improve, and part of the problem is because it is not yet fully functional. Right now, when I want to clear names, I go to Family Tree to look at a VERY nice list of what I have reserved. If I want to do all of the ordinances for a person, I clear it in Family Tree. If I only want to create an FOR for a few ordinances of an individual, I clear it in NFS where I can select specific ordinances. I am assuming that the selection feature will be added to Family Tree as well. There are many things in Family Tree that are not yet ready for full release, thus my statement that we will be teaching two programs for awhile--nFS and Family Tree. Jill Crandell
