I agree wholeheartedly ! I have been using FTM at home for 10 years and thought I'd give Ancestry.com a shot to see if I would find any information. I did find information and started adding it to the tree I created on Ancesty.com site but found it very time consuming to have to manage my home computer info and the one on line as well...it seems ludicrous to me that they cannot combine the software they market for home use with their online version to share online information which we are PAYING to obtain.

As far as I am concerned Ancestry seems to be looking out for themselves and building their information base without any thought to their consumers. You cannot even print out all the information you attach through their hints to a printable report. Their new trees are cumbersome and only bring up some descendents, not all.

I frankly am surprised at the overall ineptitude of this web site especially considering the length of time they have been in business one would think it would be of a higher caliber than it is.

My plan is to just keep my home database and use the online site for a few months just to obtain info and not supply free research FOR Ancestry.com I hope they will start to be more consumer friendly especially since many of us have bought their home version of Family Tree Maker which has many nice features for reports and linking people together. It is amazing to me that you can't combine people from tree to tree either online OR that you can't import infor from your home tree into one you have online, you have to creat a whole separate tree- NUTS !!! Oh well I learned my lesson the hard way waasting a lot of time using their site to build ridiculous trees that don't help me in any way. KAthy
