I read the blog regarding FTM, I will not change it. Because after years and years of research and Ancestry and LDS is the only ones that give the correct information.  However; if you need to change your FTM for another program, make sure that you do a total backup of your recent search.

Thank you...

Answer 1

I'm not going to hurry. There's a whole year to get through and who knows what will happen in 12 months. And I'm not dropping my Ancestry subscription as a number of people are doing in protest. That's cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I'll bet that a lot of the people threatening to cancel their subscriptions won't actually do it, either.

I'll be gone when my subscription runs out.

Answer 2

GRAMPS is open source and is very good on multiple platforms. I us it and am quite happy with it.
