This is my first genealogy software. I find it some what easy to use; but, there are some items that require the user manual. I like how this program interfaces with ancestry.com

Purchase of this product was my entry into the hobby of genealogy. It is very easy to adapt to this application for the average PC user. I don’t believe there has been a day, in the past three months, that Family Tree Maker hasn’t opened some new family “door” for me. Well developed product! Highly recommended!

The Family Tree Maker is a fantastic tool for making a family tree. There is nothing that [..] has not thought of. Not that one needs to use all of the material given to them but you surely have the options.Loads easily into ones computer. This program is full of help menus throughout, and if you are still unsure of anything the help books that are given are great. The lay out of the programs are fantastic. Just fill in the blanks…

This program upgraded seamlessly from my previous version of FTM 2006. Plus with the ability the program has to link with Ancestry.com to pull up links to others published family trees and show birth/death/military/social security records, also has the ability to make multiple family trees at one time. Easy program to understand and use. Fast movement between individuals, children, grand parents and everyone. Fantastic family tree program all around.

I have been using Family Tree Maker software for some time.

It covers just about all one would want in a genealogy arrangement.

East to use and it covers all I would want. I have over 487 individuals,

164 families, and 651 records. Takes awhile to enter all of this, but

the software is great, easy to use.

I just upgraded to FTM 2009 from a 1996 version and I am so thankful I did. New capabilities, new tools and much more intuitive. This is really going to help my family tree work. My entire family is excited about searching for their ancestors, their history and FTM 2009 gives us the tools we need and the professional results we want.
