GBOver Time...I've Improved Over time, I felt comfortable entering data. As the tree grew, hints were provided. At one point, the tree had family names related to me that was added quickly. What I found amazing is that the hints were different from other platforms for ancestors five generations which others did not have. I'm comfortable navigating and entering data while noticing that I'm more at ease since I first started.

GBI find the site a bit difficult to… I find the site a bit difficult to navigate. I encountered a problem and do not know how to fix it. I have one ancestor listed twice and I need to link this person with her husband. I deleted one and then when I tried to link this person with her husband, I chose her from my tree and it kept going around and around asking me to choose the person from my tree. I'm not at all happy with this site. I feel Ancestry is easier to navigate.

GBFinding My Great-Grandfather! I came to this site to find information on my great-grandparents who came from Ireland to the US in the mid-1800s. That was all I knew. The construction of a family tree, adding in my parents and grandparents, resulted in finding the names of both great-grandparents and where they were born. I spent about 3 hours reading and found the site easy to navigate, even for a tech "rookie" like me.

GBA Newbie's Comments on FMP It may be that I am too used to working with an alternative product to easily accept the differences on FMP. On the interface level, I would like more control on the look and feel of the tree diagram, namely the background colour and also to give a more solid feel to the named people. I have not yet discovered how to contract the tree via removing branches by clicking on the lines. Again, I have not discovered how to remove the stories icon that appears on each member of the tree. Why do I need to go through each set of records individually as opposed to FMP doing a global search on my behalf. Perhaps the above revels my lack of knowledge of the product, if so, then a short video on how to use the basics would be useful, and put it at the top of the help function.
