News from Ancestry Regarding Family Tree Maker software's ... FUTURE

The February 2nd FTM Announcement

An email from Ancestry.com arrived in my personal email inbox just after 5 p.m. today, I discovered it at 5:25 p.m.

Ancestry has announced that it is selling its Family Tree Maker genealogy desktop software to the developer of the program for the last six years Software MacKiev which will continue to develop the software. Future updates and new versions will come from Software MacKiev. Users will have continued access to Ancestry Hints, Ancestry searches and the ability to save your tree on Ancestry with Family Tree Maker in the future.

In the same announcement, Ancestry.com announced an agreement with RootsMagic to connect Ancestry and the RootsMagic software by the end of 2016. This will give the RootsMagic genealogy software access to Ancestry hints, Ancestry searches and the ability to save your tree on Ancestry.
