Family Tree Maker: Are you sure you check all of your information prior to posting it on line for the 'world to see' and know? You have my daughter listed and step children listed with their step parents as 'their children' this is wrong.
I found my own daughter, her two step siblings listed in the 'family tree' as parents when they are second and third marriages. This does not constitute a 'true' family tree. Children from prior marriages, are not a true family tree. Also, two step siblings do not carry that 'new marriage' name; they carry their true father's name. You have these children under a new husband name and that, again, makes this wrong.
I think you need to secure this a bit better.
In summary, I would not recommend Family Tree Maker (by Ancestry.com) to a friend.
