Family Tree Maker will “retire”

Notice to all AFHS members: Ancestry.com has announced that they will be ‘retiring’ the software application of Family Tree Maker. I am not sure what “retirement” means, but the current (or earlier) FTM programs will continue to function, on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 and beyond. But do not expect any new features or bug fixes. Keep in mind that the AFHS continues to offer a cloud family tree application on the Family Genes site.
