Ancestry seems to have removed all the purchase links from that website. If you decide to buy Family Tree Maker, don’t bother going to the website. So if you have an Ancestry Member Tree, you should strongly consider buying Family Tree Maker. Can you imagine manually downloading all those census images for each family in your tree? That alone overwhelms me. If you have attached records from and records and photos uploaded by other users, then it may well be worth $69.99 to download your sources to your local computer. And you can’t do the source documents by downloading a GEDCOM. So whether you are planning on getting off or staying on, it is important that you have a local copy of your tree and all the source documents. When they shut down, many people lost lots of important stuff.
There was discussion, I imagine, about shutting down, but not. It was inconceivable that wouldn’t live in inperpetuity. There was a day when the website was so important to Ancestry, they changed their name to. That I didn’t know about this policy until after they deleted my photos is tragic. When ofoto sold out to Kodak, Kodak implemented a policy of deleting your photos if you didn’t continuously purchase stuff. I knew of no way to get the photos back from ofoto.
When my external harddrive failed, I lost my local copies. I had bunches of valuable, digital photos on, a photo storage website. If you keep your genealogy in an Ancestry Member Tree and you plan on abandoning Ancestry’s trees because of the recent changes, you should rush out and buy Family Tree Maker while you can. If you keep your genealogy in an Ancestry Member Tree and you plan on keeping it there, you should rush out and buy Family Tree Maker while you can. Mind you, I don’t have to pay the $69.99 to download the product, but let me tell you why you may wish to consider buying a copy for yourself. When I heard that would no longer sell Family Tree Maker after 31 December 2015 (yes, this Thursday), I went right out and got a copy. I’m interupting my vacation again for a post that can’t wait.
