5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use software...., July 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Tree Maker Collectors Edition (CD-ROM)

I have used Family Tree Maker software for 10 years or so now. It is a very intuitive piece of software that has evolved over the years. Even if you are brand new to genealogy, you can get started with this product. Don't count on the CDs to be your gold mine to your family history. If you are looking for your history, start asking questions of your family now. Start researching on www.rootsweb.com now. Be patient...developing a tree can take a while unless its already documented somewhere.

Do you really need the expensive collection package? probably not....but you can start recording little bits of info even with the basic package of FTM.

This software ROCKS. I spent 20 years trying to find any evidence of my Gr-grGrandfather. I bought this software to help me maintain my files and I was able to find my lost ancestor with a Search. I now have charted close to 85% of my Family since the arrival of the Original Emmigrant from France. I highly recommend this software to anyone.
