As Pierre says, downloading Ancestry tree GEDComs into other programmes <br />could be good, but that will not replace being able to sync Ancestry trees and desktop programme info. M.

If ancestry had not changed I would still be there doing the same search with the same non-results.

A lot of unnecessary and ridiculous errors on Ancestry trees (even those resulting from Ancestry's own indexing) could be avoided when proposed connections and sources have to be properly referenced and supported.Jharkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233125445622007975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-12108256266268868882015-12-15T04:39:13.623-08:002015-12-15T04:39:13.623-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jharkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233125445622007975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-6091833441273182502015-12-15T00:54:15.284-08:002015-12-15T00:54:15.284-08:00I thought they "dumbed" down the whole A...I thought they "dumbed" down the whole Ancestry experience with the changeover.

However, I am leaving town, actually leaving the country for two weeks beginning Wed. Timing could not be better to unplug for a while. Between this change and the LiveWriter failure, I'm ready to take a break from technology. I personally could care less if any of those additions are made to Ancestry trees. I use Ancestry for the records and having a tree on the site is secondary. I use it for the record hints and for family members to view. It will be atrocious, in my opinion, to look at the horrible grey and try to navigate a more difficult interface. But, I will adapt. The goal is to focus on our family research and honoring our ancestors and that will not change for me no matter what Ancestry does. Thanks for the post Randy.
