After FTM is discontinued, I’ll have to find another program to do all that. If I need to do that now, I just re-upload the current Gedcom to FTM.
Honestly I mostly worked on my tree there anyway and only used FTM when I needed to create files, like event lists, or to create family outlines, etc. So I stuck with just working on my tree on. And yeah that would have worked, but my tree would be under a name I didn’t want, as well as none of the documentation, photo’s, etc coming with it and I didn’t/don’t have the money to get a year’s membership and redo everything. Support members in the Ancestry forums could only recommend that I de-link the tree’s, download the Gedcom from Ancestry, then re-upload under a different name to the Ancestry website and link it to the FTM program. Mostly because when I upgraded to FTM 2014 my tree did not properly set up and though the program says my tree is synced with the one online, it actually isn’t. They are making work for themselves to make something stop working.
I understand Ancestry deciding to not provide future versions of the program or even updates of the current version, but to make it stop working entirely? That means they have to change code on to stop letting FTM work. However at the beginning of 2017 all of the features associated with FTM will stop working. They will stop selling it at the end of this year, but it will still be usable. So you may have heard that Ancestry is planning to discontinue their Family Tree Maker (FTM for short) program. *All links are affiliate links and I will get compensation of some type when you make a purchase. Oh and use eBates/Rakuten whenever you can to get money back for more savings. You cannot upload your data (from anywhere) to 23andMe, so if you also wanted to test with them it would be an additional cost. So right now you can pay $49 for the Ancestry test, then free to upload instead of paying for each place (of the ones that offer testing) individually. You can also transfer your results to DNA.land, Geni, Wikitree, MyHeritage, and Gedmatch for FREE. Once you get your results from them, you can transfer your DNA data to FTDNA for free. If you’re unsure which test to get, I always say that AncestryDNA is the best bet for your money. Normally $199, on sale for $99įTDNA, no Prime Day price, but it gives me a 37% coupon to click which brings the price from $79 down to $50 Amazon has AncestryDNA tests on sale for $49 for Prime Day!
