Outmoded Product - No reason to buy this one new., January 28, 2012
This review is from: Broderbund Family Tree Maker: The Easiest and Most Complete Resource for Building Your Family Tree (CD-ROM)
I have used the Broderbund Family Tree Maker Version 4 ( it says version 4.4 on the CDs) since about the year 2000. It used to cause runtime errors with my PCs, and it doesn't run well if you try to load pictures into it, but I have stuck with it for a few reasons. First, I was being frugal in not buying a different software right away. Second, I had already committed a long of energy and time in entering my hardcopy files. So, I continue to use it today. The thing is, I am tired of using clunky software and would love to upgrade. As soon as I find the best software to choose, that will also import my FTM files, I am going to make the change.
If you want family history software and you can't afford to buy it, and someone wants to give you this for free, then I recommend it for you. Otherwise, if you are purchasing new, I strongly encourage you to buy a newer and better product.

Broderabund Family Tree Maker, October 23, 2010
This review is from: Broderbund Family Tree Maker: The Easiest and Most Complete Resource for Building Your Family Tree (CD-ROM)
Broderbund FTM Version 4.4 would not accept my backup from Broderbund FTM Version 3.4. Needed a new installation disk because Version 3.4 was stollen.
