As a onetime user of FTM I was happy with the product but soon became annoyed by the yearly or bi-yearly upgrades which I saw no improvement it the overall performance of the product. As a result I switched to “the Master Genealogist” (TGM) which was discontinued last year. I am still using TGM and am having no performance problems with it on Windows 7, 8, and 10. I know there will be the day when I will have to switch but in the mean time I like having all my data on my computer and on my backups and not having to access the internet every time I want to use the program. I also like the Idea of not having to spend $ every year to keep my program current.

I have already been contacted by RootsMagic and have downloaded their software. There is a free version and a premium version. The premium version is $9.95 a year. I uploaded my gedcom from FTM and so far, so good. It included my media, notes which have my links to records, and in testing it out yesterday I have to say I like it a lot. I am keeping FTM as is and working with both until I feel comfortable trashing FTM. I must admit it is easier in my opinion to use with the biggest plus in editing, deleting etc. There is also reports, book publishing, etc. I also do NOT like that Ancestry is giving us no option but to use the new graphic interface instead of the classic interface which in my opinion is easier to use. With the new graphic interface it is harder to find what you need and then to search or edit. Only one person's opinion. But I will download my DNA and discontinue Ancestry when my subscription is up. RootsMagic will be trying to work with Ancestry in the future....I don't know if that is good or bad. I like RootsMagic the way it is.
