Ancestry

 

Where

http://ancestry.com.au  or .com or .co.uk or .co.ca ….

Main benefits

Can attach to your ancestry DNA test for tree hints

Can collaborate with others if invited

Can easily get whole tree to your computer, attached images and all using FamilyTreeMaker (FTM), or less completely, via gedcom

Coming (before end of 2016) integration with RootsMagic

Main pitfalls

“silo” tree

FTM synchronisation is all or nothing unless you remember to mark certain people as private, ie cannot just publish one branch, or only selections from your tree without creating subset trees

Recommendations

Check your settings and chose a privacy level you are comfortable with
