Hi Sue,
Thank you for your reply to my plea for help. I did look at the website
which you sent me and tried to contact Broderbund but was not able to get
through at that time. However, it did push me into some positive thought
and I have made a few strides since then.
I am very grateful for your help and it has taken a big worry off my mind.
I now know that there is light at the end of the family tree tunnel!
Many thanks,
Myra

the official Broderbund site appears to offer you the chance to buy online -
their website address is
www.Broderbund.com - there is a contact button so
you could ask them the question abt Ancestry link you keep getting.

Subject: [POWYS] HELP Software
Hi all,
It's a long time since I wrote to the site but I read it avidly each day.
However, I've now come up with a problem concerning software to see my
records.
I began to keep records (many moons ago) on a Broderbund Family Tree Program
and updated to a newer version every few years.
However, I recently bought a new computer and when I looked for my original
disc (dare I say? It was the 2006 version!) to install onto the new
computer so that I could view 25 years of records..... I find it will not
allow me to look at the final version.
When I looked on Amazon to see if I could buy a 2011 version, I now find
that it is Ancestry.co.uk who are advertising.
Please, can any kind person tell me (in easy to understand jargon!) .....
Have Ancestry taken over Broderbund?
If so, if I buy their latest version (Platinum 2011) will it allow me to
read my old files?
If not - What can I do? Is there a way I could read my old file on any
other software?
I still have my old computer with the original program and all the versions
of my tree from day one to the present day (35 MB) but would really like to
now use this version on my new computer.
Any information as to the choice of a new, compatible Family Tree Program
would be exceptionally gratefully received.
Myra
