The only shortcoming that I found was… The only shortcoming that I found was when inputting dates. The system often doesn't let me input two numbers in a row without having to click on that box again. Everything else is truly wonderful. Thank you.

Very interested in my heritage I don't like getting all the British stuff and I like a little more information or a navigation tool for Slaves and african Americans during slavery and the eighteen hundreds

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.

I love the access to the old maps! I love the access to the old maps! I am working on family in England and Wales. The old maps are a Godsend. There are so many places that have changed. I am going to enjoy your educational materials as well.

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.
