In my previous post I explained Ancestry's plans to retire their Family Tree Maker software at the end of this year. However, they were a bit premature in their announcement which alarmed fans and long-term users of FTM.
Ancestry have now announced that Software MacKiev, the company who currently develop FTM for them, will take over ownership and continue to develop it and issue new versions in future. So now FTM will continue to function with Ancestry in the same way.
In addition, Ancestry have made a new agreement with another leading family tree software company, RootsMagic. From the end of the year this software will also provide the same interactive features with Ancestry.
