I recently completed another survey on SP and it looks as though a family tree maker might be on the cards.
If as many of us as possible complete the SP surveys and suggest a subscription/credit system, we might eventually get there.
Yes. But I don't see the point in SP offering a tree building facility - there are hundreds of existing sites and programs to do that already, so why should SP devote resources to adding another one?
I'd far rather SP concentrated on doing the things only they can do, like adding mothers' maiden surnames to earlier birth and death indexes, ironing out some of quirks of the search (though to be fair most of the quirks are in the in-house search system not the online one), adding place of birth to the census indexes and so on.
If we all replied to the survey saying 'yes' to just the few options we really, really want, they would get a very clear indication what to concentrate on. If we all say 'yes' to all or most of the options in their survey, they aren't going to get a clear idea of what their customers would prefer.
Sorry, I've got a bit off-topic!
