The Ancestry.com version linked above does not have this subscription and sells for $69.95.  It makes perfect sense from that perspective.<\/p>\n<p>I do have more questions submitted to the folks behind FTM and will post the responses as I get them.  I am slowly but surely working through the back-log of questions I&#8217;ve received from people who follow this site, and will get them answered and posted either in a new article, or through the  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macgenealogy.org\/faq\/\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/a> as time permits.
