Have you been caught up in recent conversation about the future of Family Tree Maker (FTM) software for genealogy? The
surprise announcement from Ancestry in December 2015 that they would
discontinue selling Family Tree Maker desktop software stunned many
people and online discussion forums have been abuzz ever since.
This news provides impetus for a wider ranging discussion
and perspective about
technology change, the rise of Cloud computing, and the benefits (and
drawbacks) that brings. What is the role of the rapidly growing online
genealogy businesses? There are options and strategies we should
consider as we move ahead, some very good ones!
Join us at FHIG for a discussion of this timely topic, facilitated by our own FTM Power User,
Russ Worthington.

Not an FTM user so not affected? There will be much of interest for you, too, in this discussion!
