I’m am tired of sorting through page after page of results for Ruddick or Ruddock only to find one or two scattered throughout dozens of R320 individuals. It is a total waste of my time. It is the same problem with the ancestry.com website search engine.” Regards “Most important is a search engine that will NOT give unrelated results.

Sawkar Wed, 16 Feb 2011 19:54:04 +0000 http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/?p=5318#comment-52368 I have used FTM 16 for a longtime. I was trying to find if it can be improved and bought FTM 2009. Unfortunately when imported all info from Version 16, it did not get all information and then decided not update as I was very happy with V 16. Now I have problem with updating my homepage on FTM website. I never get home page updated, with error message of "Submission error: error during send" Also get information that "We are experiencing ongoing problem both with accepting and processing upload from FTM. We are working to fix this problem" This message has been there more than now 6 months or so. Is there any solution or light at the end of tunnel? Please advice and reply. Thanks.

Should you start a new file for every family such as Perternal Grandfather and one for the Grandmother's side and also do the same for the Martenal side. That makes 4 files going under a different name or shoudl the paternal side be kept together and then the Maternal side kept together branching off each their way?

I have been using Ancestry.com intensively for the last three months (daily - all day) and I have so many bits and pieces of information that I am getting confused. I am entering this information into Ancestry,and am hopeful hat FTM will allow me to simplfy while retaining all photos, documents, etc. However, in reading the comments and questions above, I am hesitant about FTM. I have similar problems with Ancestry that have not been resolved. Are you all going to be able to satisfactorily address this concerns?

I get tired of searching thru my 40+ various reports to find the one that I need to use again! Q2 - As soon as I open a saved report, the original title is "lost" and changes to the name of one of the people in the report. I am tired of having to change the title back to it's original title before printing the report again.
