Does FTM/Ancestry do anything that's user friendly? Needless to say, I'm a very unhappy user.

This version of FTM does not live up to the high standards of the previous versions of FTM. I have been a user of FTM since it was a very simple DOS based program. I would say that over the years I have most likely used every previous version of FTM. This is the first time that I have been SORRY that I upgraded the software. I run a small Genealogy Research firm and we had always used FTM. Luckly FTM 16 was still on our computers so we were able to go back to using it without a major hassle. We run subscriptions for both Ancestry.com and Gemealogy.com, since both are owned by the same company maybe having the programers work on combining all various data bases on those two sites rather than sending out a poor product would have been a much better idea !
