I have a relation who would like to access the private part of my
database by using an Ancestry program that does not store anything on
Ancestry.com (or, presumably much the same thing, ancestry.co.uk).
So does anyone know of an Ancestry stand-alone, computer program whose
default state is NOT to interchange data with Ancestry.com?

Avoid being online altogether. Send the person a GEDCOM file of the
pertinent data and have them use one of the free genealogy programs
(Legacy, etc). They can see whatever you give them and nothing would
be online.

http://www.whollygenes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?screen=FTST) is a
viewer based on The Master Genealogist. It will read natively from most
genealogy programs. Cost is US$18 for a downloadable version.

There are a number of such programs. If you generate a Gedcom file you can import it into a program such as Brother's Keeper, by John Steed,
which has been around since the mid 1990s and is updated regularly, but does NOT go online every. I use it AND FTM 2012 and keep them in
full sync so that even if FTM2012 screws up I have a full local backup outside of FTM.
Look at http://www.bkwin.org/
Brother's Keeper version 6.5
This page was last updated on 03-Feb-2012
Go to the bottom of this page to download the program.
This page provides information about version 6.5 of BK. You may download the program free from this web site. Currently the 6.5 version is
available in English, Norwegian, French (Canadian), French (Belgium), German, Danish, Icelandic and Czech and there are language files for
Dutch, Dutch (Belgium), Slovenian, Slovak, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Afrikaans (no foreign help files for
those languages yet.) Check this page each month to see what updates are available. The BKSETUP6.EXE file contains ALL the languages
mentioned above. If you want Norwegian, French, Danish, Dutch, or Swedish, and if you already have BK 6.0 or 6.1 or 6.2 or 6.3 installed,
those languages are currently also in BKUPDTF.EXE. The file BKUPDATE.EXE contains only English.
