I am getting to my earlier ancestors for the Nelson line.

I am getting to my earlier ancestors for the Nelson line., those before 1752 when the calendar changed. My question is how do I enter the correct date in my FTM program? I have it written on my index card as it is here. I believe I would enter this date as 26 Feb 1644. This does not change it to the Georgian calendar date, just leaves it that she was month on the 26th of Feb. Is this the best way to enter pre- 1752 dates?

I just attended Cousin Russ' presentation on Find A Grave.

I just attended Cousin Russ' presentation on Find A Grave. Even though I use Find A Grave on a regular basis, I learned a lot about the "lesser know" (but no less important) features! Thanks Russ!

Great news: MyCanvas finds a new home in Alexander’s

Great news: MyCanvas finds a new home in Alexander’s
(Author: Eric Shoup)

This past June, we announced that we were retiring the MyCanvas website and service in September 2014.

We’ve heard from many people who love MyCanvas and hate the idea of it going away. Well, we have some good news for you: It’s not going away after all. We listened and decided not to retire MyCanvas, but instead transfer the website to Alexander’s.

Founded 35 years ago, Alexander’s is a Utah-based printing production company that has been the long-term printer of MyCanvas products including its genealogy books, calendars, and other printed products. This makes the transition of MyCanvas to Alexander’s a natural fit.

It’s our hope that this agreement will not change the experience for MyCanvas customers. In fact, Alexander’s plans to make some exciting improvements we think you’ll love. Additionally, MyCanvas will continue to be available from the Ancestry.com website as we believe in the importance of sharing family history discoveries and see MyCanvas as a way to deliver this ability to our customers.

The transition of MyCanvas will take about six months. But in the meantime, all MyCanvas projects will remain accessible on Ancestry.com until it moves over to Alexander’s next year. We will continue to communicate details as the transition moves forward.

We want to thank our loyal MyCanvas customers for all the projects you have built and printed with us over the years. We’re excited about this new owner of MyCanvas—and we think you will be too.
