I've been using Family Tree Maker for years and have come to depend on it for storing thousands of records of ancestors. The only thing I haven't liked about it is that it doesn't have enough flexibility for publishing a book, so I have to retype everything if I want to publish something. I've used Family Tree Maker 9 for a while and bought the upgrade to Family Tree Maker 2005. When I installed this new version I kept getting errors using my file from the old version. The support center couldn't or wouldn't help; I called repeatedly and they just said my file had been corrupted. So my review is not for Family Tree Maker in general, just for this new version.

I finally upgraded from the old Ultimate Family Tree and I love the flexibility and the search cabability of this program. I have been able to find so much more information and document sources on the fly. It is a bit clunky at first so i suggest getting the User Manual, however, once you figure out everything you can do with this program, it's awesome!!

I have had this program for a couple months now and it works fabulously. I updated from FTM 9 and it completely transferred all my information very quickly. I have thoroughly enjoyed this program and it helped me to find family I have searched and searched for. It's great!
