I have completed two books on two separate sides of my family. I would love to combine both books. How do I do that?

Ed Think about it…The owners of ancestry.com and family tree maker want you to use this on line book creation called Ancestry Press. I did not get the latest version of FTM and after reading all the comments I am not even sure that I am going to get the next FTM version. If you create the book on line then they have your book. I have not used and do not ever anticipate using Ancestry Press to create a book, if I want one I will find a program that will let me do it off line. I have begun to look at some other genealogy programs and the real irony here is that I have been an FTM user since some time in the mid 90’s. So now ancestry and ftm have two broken items…and if you add the new search engine make it three…lets see I think I may jump ship next year when my ancestry. com comes up for renewal.

I really miss the “book” feature of Family Tree Maker 16, and can’t duplicate its capability in Family Tree Maker 2008

I love everything you have done, but I have one suggestion. I have discovered that my hometown newspaper is now avaible on ancestry and I have been downloading various articles (208 hits) and using the new print options to create a page that may add a picture from 1935, some ads, and my comments. These pages seemed to be best suited for an 8 1/2 x 11 portrait lay-out. I am now trying to take all those pages and combine them into a book, but all the books use a landscape lay-out. I realize this is best for most of what you do, but it would be nice to have at least one option of a book in the portrait layout.

I wish the descendent book could include 5 generations.

Im glad to hear about these new options. I much prefer the real leather for a book like this, especially with the amount of time I’ve put into creating it. 250 pages is also great but I would like to see you be able to larger. 250 isn’t really enough for what I want to do with my project. Still though, great improvements, keep it up.

When will we be able to convert a current project to the larger size?
