Sometimes when wanting to re-read what I had already posted under “Personal Notes” the data is not there. What happened to it? Where is it?

I agree with the unhappy people. 100 page limit and only a direct line of ancestors is not what we want. In addition, after talking with the tech assistant, I find that my copy of the program does not do some of the things that she believes it should. She could find no reason for the defects. This program is much like the autos of the 70′s, rushed to production without amy quality control.

I agree Peter. The system is broken. I can add my wife her grandparents and great grandparents, but none of their kids. We are trying to build a tree with many branches, not one big trunk.

This works if you are trying to only easily add more direct ancestors of somebody. Not so good for adding collateral lines.

It’s not ancestors I want to see though. I want to see descendents of my great-great-grandparents. I’m trying to make a book for all my cousins, not an individual book for each one.

I could add in group sheets by hand for each couple. Adding in ancestor charts doesn’t really help. I end up with litterally dozens of almost the same chart, one for each great grandkid showing their parents and their children.

The new features in Ancestry Press are wonderful – keep those backgrounds and embellishments coming! – but I really need more than 100 pages! Can you tell me how close we are to having that restriction lifted?

Just “upgraded” from FTW 200 to 2008. I had a book of over 750 pages in the old version and wanted to do a fairly major editing upgrade but find that the book feature is now gone and replaced with this 100 page mini book. Are there any plans for improving this feature to at least come close to the capabilities of the 2005 version?

Glynis, you’ll need to set the second book up as a new project. Currently it isn’t possible to split a book into two books, but if there are pages in book #1 that you want to use in book #2, you can make a copy of book #1 and then delete the pages you don’t want.
