Misleading marketing… I realize that you have to make money to be able to maintain your site, However, I have not learned one new fact working with you that I didn’t already know. I have been using your family tree feature and have entered 10+ layers of my family. I have had tons of “hints”. Nothing has been new information. Anything new that I would want to know requires me to join your site. If you advertise online that you offer free tools they should be totally free. Just be honest on your advertising.

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 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.

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.
