Finding 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.

A 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.

Excellent website that enable global… Excellent website that enable global search of ancestors. I was amazed at the scope and options. The results were impressive.

It is very user friendly and cheaper… It is very user friendly and cheaper than most genetic testing sites. I think I'm going to have an interesting time finding out where my family comes from.

It all started well when building my… It all started well when building my tree. However, when trying to add great grandparents… not so much. I added a great grandfather ( this happened twice) … it was good. Then tried adding a spouse for this person and she ended up being a step-mother for the child.no matter what I tried, I ended up with a mixed up parent-child result. That’s why I’m giving up.
