I agree with most of the other commentators here.

Why was it necessary to remove a function to another site, that was previously available internally in the program?

Really suggest moving all development away from a web site and move the functionality within the application so we can work-offline

Lawrence said it right – Privicy concerns! There is no way I’ll upload my tree into a web site.

Thanks, Jay

I am very interested in using this tool to help me complete a book that I have already written (about 50 pages long)as a personal history. I am having trouble after doing all the suggestions for the Flash Drive, it still won’t let me in. Can I use the narrative that I have done, intersperse pictures, and the templates as well? Also, I have no idea what the cost would be. I can’t seem to find where that would be found. As for the privacy issue, I am satisfied with the personal tree option that you have, allowing for deceased relatives to be researched on other tree. Thanks, Joycelyn

Lawrence, you have hit the nail directly on the head, in addition we pay to see A.coms information, they take ours, for free, and charge others to view it, seems like an unequal formula…..

I should probably add that my concern about privacy derives from the fact that Ancestry’s reputation is not entirely pristine when it comes to commercial use of users’ private data, all protestations to the contrary …

Suzanne, when this feature is incorporated into FTM as a feature internal to the program, then I would love to use it. In the meantime, I do not plan to upload my data to A.com in order to print anything—call it a matter of privacy. Best wishes, Lawrence
