1 out of 5 stars Great Concept- Terrible Execution   January 5, 2007

The list of features on this program was enough to make me salivate, but do not trust your precious research to this buggy program. Files are corrupted with such regularity that you must perform manual backups each time you make a change, and there is no way to overwrite files with the same name, so you are forced to save each backup as a new file, filling up your hard drive with multiple family trees. There is an auto-backup feature that is useless as it corrupts when your primary files corrupt. There are also firewall issues with the web search feature. A quick search of the support forums for this product reveal that many,many people are having the same problems with this software, but no fixes seem to be coming. I was really looking forward to using this program, and I'm extremely disappointed at how it performs. I would not recommend this until the problems are addressed.


5 out of 5 stars Still the best genealogy software on the market   December 27, 2006

FTM is the most user-friendly genealogy program. It's easy to learn and data can be quickly converted for sharing files, and creating your own family record book. I'd rather have had some of their family tree disks as a bonus rather than the sub to Ancestry, since so many genealogists are already members, but this was a great upgrade from my old program.

This is THE program to buy if you're just getting started in genealogy. It'll get you started with entering data immediately, and the DVD has great info on how to research your ancestors. The program will create your choice of several different styles of family trees, genealogy reports, family group sheets, kinship reports, and even create a publishable family history book with the click of the mouse. Highly recommend

I've used Family Tree Maker for years, and been very happy with it. I upgraded to version 16 Delux Edition after reading some negative reviews of the 2008 edition. I've never had a corrupted file in all the years I've been using it, so maybe the reviewer that complained of that has other software that causes this, or a different operating system (I'm using it on XP).

I have a family tree that includes more than 14,000 people from the two sides of my husband and my families. I wouldn't trust their information to anyone except Family Tree Maker. I've been using them for years. I tried one of the cheaper ones and I got what I paid for, lost information.
I had a computer virus once and sent my disk to Family Tree Maker and they were able to recover more than 95% of the information I thought had been lost forever.

I have a great family tree thanks to the makers of Family Tree Maker!

Made a mistake when I purchased this program. Repeatedly removed and re-installed the program with the same result: FTM desktop with error message 'it could not find files'. This was the only advice FTM tech support could offer. Lesson learned; I'll just use a spreadsheet and make my own 'Tree.'
