IMPORTING TO MACFAMILYTREE FROM ANCESTRY.COM SOFTWARE
It’s certainly an interesting story about Ancestry dropping their desktop genealogy software Family Tree Maker (FTM).Experience and discover your family history as vivid and versatile as never before. Ancestry themselves claimed the software was “The #1 Selling Family Tree Program”. It would seem unusual that the #1 selling program would be discontinued.
It’s possible FTM was some kind of loss-leader to get people to sign up to, although it seems odd that they would need to lose money on the program. Other genealogy programs seem to make money. It would seem logical then that the transition is strategic, in order to get more people to use their online family tree product, which as part of their overall service, generates much more revenue for them. As a strategic decision, however, I think they made a mistake in not transitioning the features many genealogists rely on in desktop software to their online offering first, features like charts and reports, as well as better backups of data than the GEDCOM available from Ancestry’s online service. Their initial blog post announcing the ‘retirement’ of FTM has so far generated over 8500 comments. Cleary, people have concerns about how Ancestry is handling the transition.Ī second follow-up post has generated another 950 comments so far. Other companies, of course, are not sitting still.

* These Mac versions run in Emulation using CrossOver or similar technology. This means they are essentially the Windows versions running on the Mac, with no special adaptation made to the user interface to fit Macintosh interface guidelines. My impression was that RootsMagic was the first to come out and announce a transition plan, even launching the site with instructional videos within a day of the announcements. Most companies have offered financial incentives to switch now as well.
