Is it necessary to maintain the Ancestry.com membership? Once I have synched the data will it work as a standalone without a membership?

I found that I could use it as just a format. Yes, at least for me it was stand alone. It's just that if you are missing data you have to search it on your own and then add it manually. I needed a lot of missing data and so I'm at a stand still on what I will do next as it seems that Ancestry.com had very little to offer me and kept offering sites that required more fees. Other than that the software was pretty straight forward as long as you read the instructions. Good luck and hope this help.

I dont know enough about computer to know how to do that so I didnt play around with the hardware too much. However, im pretty sure that if you use your own PC and memory there will be no charge. I pay like $7.00 a month for the website.

I believe the only difference between the 3 versions is the amount of included access time on Ancestry.com. FTM 2008 Basic is 1 month; FTM 2008 Deluxe is 3 months; FTM 2008 Platinum is 6 months. Now, if this full access to EVERYTHING (don't know if it is but since it says premium access, I would think so) I pay $300 a year for full access to both US and International records. If the premium access is limited to just the US, it's still $180 a year. Therefore, FTM 2008 Platinum, with the current rebate offered, is a great deal for 6 months free access that is worth anywhere between $90 to $150 in REAL dollars! And believe me, with access to those billions of records at Ancestry's web site, you are guaranteed to find many of your ancestors! I would jump at this deal if I could, but I already have a yearly subscription and I'm using FTM 2008.

The support via email has been great..usually a 1day response time. The synch seems to work quite well and I have the app on my android phone with all of my recipes (which is great when shopping!)

From the complaints I've heard I'm wondering about this as well. But they seemed to have a launched an online version. They may have gone to services from the web. I'm not sure if it is intended as a full replacement, but I wonder what it means for me as I have my records from 1999 and want to keep it intact.

No you have to pay for the app and I found that this was additional expense monthly that I did not want to maintain. I returned it

I imported from Family Tree maker sucessfully.. I always make sure to do a back-up before I do any importing or other changes to my data. Hope this helps.

If you subscribe to nexia and have the home hub it will keep a log on the Nexia site. If you are using stand alone without the home hub then it does not keep a log. There are other hubs that you can use that will also keep a log without the monthly/yearly subscription price.

There is no login that I saw on their site, but you do need an account to activate it. So, I believe it pumps the data to their server, but I don't believe you can download it, short of ...allot of coding. They do have some tricky algorithms based on how I am seeing my activity tracked (i.e. less activity points but more calories burned) so I am not sure the data would even be real useable if it was captured. But, I do love it! If you are looking for a way to mine your life data in other ways than intended, probably not the solution. If you are looking to track sleep, activity, and be encouraged to take an extra walk or a jog once in a while, it does that exceptionally well.

I believe you have to have a total connect account. I have it through GeoArm and pay 12 dollars a month

You use to. They were recently giving lifetime memberships on some sites with purchase. However I don't know if that is still going on

Yes, it has a guest feature. So it will save 9 peoples profiles, but anyone can use if as a guest if they re-enter their info

I had to add a dataplan for it to my account (cost about $50). I paid month-by-month so I was able to cancel it as soon as I was done, but can add it back if I ever need to.

You will not have to restart, it'll just upgrade your account and as far as worth it? ABSOLUTELY in my personal opinion. Preferred/Founders bonuses are awesome. Definitely worth the $ when I bought it (was around $30-35 at the time I think?)

My friend bought it, she didn't know about the regristration. First month is free the. Next month os $15 or so. You can buy bundles of membership but that gets spendy. You will have to buy a new game, if you have the money than you can buy the membership. Its up to you, with me I told my friend not to buy the membership since she doesn't have good internet coverage.

You will not have to start over again. You will go to your online account and enter a code that will activate the founder status. You will get a lion mount, and some other things (I don't remember what...). I think you also get some more bank space and a few okay items. If you plan on playing the game for a while, it's a good buy.

If you were luck and received all 3 cd's then just go to help inside family tree maker and click on "Activate Ancestry Subscription"
