This is indeed good news Brian... I see it as a full answer to any remaining need for ancestry other than the images being shared to family search by tree owners as they have to ancestry in the past... word of mouth folks... we need to get out there and talk this up at local meetings of genealogical societies ect. The program far exceeds Ancestry in what it can do, so why hold on to it after the recent problems... They will have to come out with something truely compete and new features for me to consider upgrading Family tree 2014...
