   Interesting set of answers.  I'll probably stick with Ancestry despite   
   it's quirks.   
   Out of interest, is it possible to upload the media as well as the GED   
   file from Ancestry to FMP?  I have it all downloaded onto RootsMagic if   
   it can be done that way.   
      
   BTW  Just in case anyone doesn't know, there is a  very old but very   
   useful piece of software called Simple Family Tree which I have used   
   for many years.   As I say it is simple but so useful for quick   
   references, it is still available at
