Laurene, we’re working on letting you start a calendar with any month of the year. This feature should be available in late February or early March.

Can we use the calendar pages from this feature on mycanvas as individual pages in our Family Ancestor Books? If so, is there any posts that will indtruct me on the proper steps to go thru to do this correctly.

Thanks for all the great posts & information! It really helps to see the details before getting into a project.:o)

Can I start the calendar in the middle of the year and go into 2010? In other words, can I make June or July 2009 the beginning?

I am interested in creating a family calendar – I just received this e-mail about Mycanvasblog on the 9th of Jan 2009. How can I get the templates and instructions to create the calendar and what does it cost?
I was very impressed with the wide variety of choices in the demo that I saw. Thaaanks!

I think that this is wonderfull..I had no idea that so much could be done to a calendar that would make it so personal. How could you take a calendar and put on it the ancestor’s in your family birthday information. We had a family reunion and I wanted to take my generation and the children form this generation and put them on a calendar for the next reunion. I thought that if anyone was interested maybe then they would want to start doing this for their kids and the future generation.
Do you have any suggestion’s?

I made the Photo Calendars that Ancestry has as a project. I just received them in the mail. They came out very good. I know my family will enjoy them.

I put pictures of everyone on the month they were born or had an anniversary. I also included Bible Versus on each month. For Easter I added a picture that I took in Israel when I was there over 20 years ago,of the grave that Jesus resurrected from. Then at December I reminded them of Jesus Birth. I really came out special. So it is good to add special things that you think is special to the family

I just loved doing the calendar project for my family. I consider it a great gift that you offer such a thing & I was more than happy to put my family information in & pictures I chose to use.I don’t understand all the fuss and I’m sorry that others aren’t happy with it. Count your blessings as they come & be grateful we have such a site here. I know I love it & look forward to more projects. My family thinks I am talented for putting these things together & I just tell them it’s so easy, they have all the templates there & all I have to do is add photos & dates. No biggie! Thanks Ancestry.com…..I love your site and appreciate all the hard work each person puts into it. God Bless & Happy hunting for family roots!

I just upgraded to 2009 because of Vista and was very disappointed that the calendar feature was removed. Looking forward to the upgrade patch.

Just set down to do the yearly calendar for Christmas gifts, again this year and found it no longer available on 2009. Really a big disappointment.

I agree with J A. I want the calendar feature that was in older versions of FTM. Although now I understand why they took it out.

In years past I would make a calendar for the different sides of my family for Christmas. Last year I was unable to do this due to illness and when I started to work on it this year I found it was gone. Using a previous version isn’t an option as I now have Vista and it isn’t compatible.

Please bring back the Calendar!

Thank you
