Would it be possible to follow the way of Family Tree Maker, ie. when one uses the ascendants/descendants tabs, to be able to see when one has some matches on Ancestry.co.uk/Ancestry.com.  This only happens of course of you are a member of Ancestry and as the product and Ancestry are in league with one another it might be something that's not possible from within FH.  FTM shows a leaf for people that are matched on Ancestry.

I don't think it's necessary to merge the data like they do on FTM - I never liked that facility because you lose track of facts etc - but the ability to know when someone has a match would be great.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Remember Family Tree Maker is written by Ancestry so they can build integration, which is not available to other tools.

In FH you can already do a quick search for a person, simply select the person, and from the menu select Internet/Search the internet and select the site you want, for some sites such as ancestry it will populate the search with the person you have selected and open up your web browser to the search results.


A friendly warning don't order GRO certs via ancestry you end up paying a lot more than you do if you order then direct. I see in the SDFHS mag an extra £9, so £16 rather than £7 of you order direct.
