Ancestry.com integration

Post by cjdenbow »

Is there any chance that FH could work out an agreement with ancestry.com like RootsMagic has negotiated? They are working on a complete integration with ancestry.com that will allow "tree syncing," searches, source downloads, etc., from ancestry.com within RM. At this juncture only RM and the now independently produced FTM will have these features. I find them very appealing, but I like the FH program better, so I'm faced with a bit of a dilemma. If FH would negotiate an agreement with ancestry, I could get off the horns of this dilemma and settle on FH as my go-to genealogical program, or if you prefer programme. See, I can speak British! ;-)

I'm sure Calico will be doing what they can to also work out a deal with Ancestry if at all possible. We'll just have to wait and see.

No, I had not. Thanks for the link, but these are "work arounds" rather than an actual integrated solution. I hope the latter can be worked out.
