Thank you all for your replies - yes i did receive their Christmas offer. I will look further into those website mentioned. At the moment I’m running FTM and recently received a message from Ancestry to say that they are retiring the FTM program end of year. Thanks again and Merry Christmas to all Regards Anne > On 24 Dec 2015, at 7:48 am, Don Farnham via <norfolk@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Perhaps I should have mentioned - apart from the Gallery (pictures are > uploaded individually), this all from 1 gedcom file. > > Don Farnham > > > On 23/12/2015 21:42, Don Farnham via wrote: >> If you do have a look, click on Places, then Abbotsbury. >> >> I am just starting to add the maps on. >> >> Don Farnham >> >> >> On 23/12/2015 21:15, Don Farnham via wrote: >>> I have two websites with them - have a look at www.norster.org.uk - let >>> me know what you think.# >>> >>> The cost is around £12 per year which I think is very reasonable. >>> >>> Don Farnham >>> >>> >>> ------------------------------- >>> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >>> >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Ann, This doesn't mean that you should remove your tree from Ancestry. All it means is that we go back to the way we did things before the 2012 release of FTM. Work in Ancestry, and then duplicate what you've done in FTM. Yes, it's annoying, but there's at least 12 months to see what eventuates.

Only you can make the decision of what program you use, based on the level of support you believe you need, and the features you want to use. It may be that you do not need any support, and are working with just a local copy of FTM - then nothing says that will stop working in 12 months time (I'm still using the 2005 version of FTM that was released in 2004), and I expect to carry on using it when I migrate from windows 7 to windows 8. Conversely, part of your thoughts with migrating to any new software package should include thinking about whether you can migrate to something else when the support disappears. That particularly applies if you are used something relying on web-based support. You certainly do not want to go to any package or product that means reentering all your data when you go to a new package, so carefully consider what standards are supported (and how well they are supported) for both import and export of data. regards Keith Drage Swindon UK On 24/12/2015 01:08, Anne Boss via wrote: > Thank you all for your replies - yes i did receive their Christmas offer. > I will look further into those website mentioned. > At the moment I’m running FTM and recently received a message from > Ancestry to say that they are retiring the FTM program end of year. > Thanks again > and Merry Christmas to all > Regards > Anne > >> On 24 Dec 2015, at 7:48 am, Don Farnham via <norfolk@rootsweb.com> wrote: >> >> Perhaps I should have mentioned - apart from the Gallery (pictures are >> uploaded individually), this all from 1 gedcom file. >> >> Don Farnham >> >> >> On 23/12/2015 21:42, Don Farnham via wrote: >>> If you do have a look, click on Places, then Abbotsbury. >>> >>> I am just starting to add the maps on. >>> >>> Don Farnham >>> >>> >>> On 23/12/2015 21:15, Don Farnham via wrote: >>>> I have two websites with them - have a look at www.norster.org.uk - let >>>> me know what you think.# >>>> >>>> The cost is around £12 per year which I think is very reasonable. >>>> >>>> Don Farnham >>>> >>>> >>>> ------------------------------- >>>> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >>>> >>> ------------------------------- >>> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >>> >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Keith - if you EVER think of migrating to Windows 8, think again, then don't. If you must upgrade (and personally I think Win 7 is far superior) go direct to Win 10 and avoid all the heartache (a techie term for a bad program). There are glitches in Win 10 which require that you run most genie programs as an Administrator, so stay with safe Win 7. I have both and know which I prefer....
