This site claims “*The free basic plan is for an online tree with up to 500 people with up to 100MB online storage.”; however, my free program has only ever allowed me to publish 245 names.

Looking forward to giving this a full test-drive… already the Smart Merge feature has come in handy.

One suggestion – any chance of allowing people to enter alternative versions of names? For example, with my Irish ancestry, people have two sets of names, Irish and English, which are used concurrently, particularly from the 1300s on to the 1700s. I imagine this might be an issue with others who have ancestors who emigrated and had different names in different countries.

Thanks, and keep up the good work,

Ronan.

First of all, let me congratulate you for this relase (and tell you that because of this I made the site the home of my family research). FTB and myheritage together are the most formidable pair I found so far, and I’m just looking forward for more people to start using it so I can profit of that

The features that I like the most is the SmartMatch merge, which I already have use to add members to my tree as well as too update other’s members information.

But in order to keep improving the system, I do have a wish list that hope will be quickly addressed:

On the site, the main features missing is the ability of changing/adding information online by other site members.
Also, a chronological change log would be very helpful for all site members (specifically, a link that each site member could click to see a list of changes since he last logged in or a particular date)

The program does the work nicely, has a lot of research & match features, but lacks some basic functions that other genealogical programs has. Out of them, the ones that I used to find more valuable are:
- ability to merge to individuals that are repeated (and if possible, the ability for the program to find them)
- possibility to change the capitalization of names and surnames (ALL CAPS, Proper Caps, lower caps, etc)
- Possibility to detach a person from parents/spouse/children
- A date calculator
- A search & replace utility
- a simple project’s task list

Keep the well work… and the masses will come!

Congratulations!
Miguel
