That means that Ancestry hints, search, merge, maps and the Web dashboard will continue to work as they do now. Ancestry will continue to keep all connection services other than syncing on until FTM 2017 is released.We will be reaching out to those getting the new edition to find out who is eager to get started and who'd prefer that others test the system first. Depending on where we are when ready to launch, we may consider a plan where we do a staggered release to prevent a situation where all users start syncing all at once as they start up FTM 2017 for the first time.The goal will be to have a greater buffer when, as expected, a large number of FTM users will try out the system all at once. Ancestry will be taking a look at their gateway and other services to see if they can scale up capacity in a few areas to handle greater load.We are arranging to have all the testers connected by a central SMS messaging system so that we can have them cancel syncing if problems arise. We are preparing for synchronized testing with an expanded group of beta testers who will try syncing all at once during a particular 1-2 hour period to evaluate the impact with real user trees.Given this, we have agreed a number of steps we will take together:
