2.0 out of 5 stars Generations Family Tree by Broderbund is a better choice., January 23, 2003

By	3boys (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Family Tree Maker is an okay genealogy program. For the very novice or someone that needs an extremely simple format for inputting - this one's for you. Otherwise for beginner's and experts alike, get Generations Family Tree (now distributed by Broderbund). The charts and family group sheets are easier to use and have superior results compared to Family Tree Maker. Don't go for the "deluxe" versions, the extra discs of "information" contains very little useful data - plus the same information can be readily found on the internet. I've been using genealogy programs for the last 5 years and have tried several. It's too bad that Broderbund bought Generations (from Sierra Home software) and won't promote it - as it's a better product over their Family Tree Maker.

1.0 out of 5 stars Family Tree Maker strikes out, March 6, 2003

By	Janice Tabbut (Collegeville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I don't usually like Broderbund software and once again they prove I should not have bought their software. It's easy to set up and use but every click to research a relative brings an offer to buy software that you need to get that information. $ for the software, $ for census software, $ for the files of a single state during a specific time period and I don't even know if my relative lived there. The family search name took me to family trees that didn't even have the names in them I searched on. Not one name in my family is in their CDs that contain "over 1100 years of history". The complaint list goes on and on. That's the very last time I buy Broderbund software. Ever!

1.0 out of 5 stars False Advertising on Box, March 17, 2003

By A Customer

I purchased Broderbund Family Tree Maker because on the box it states all of the types of data I can access. That is not accurate. Once the software is installed and opened, there is no data to access, only advertising to sell access to the information at high prices. Also, no phone number to call and verify what I have encountered in case I am mistaken and there is some secret way to bypass the sales pitch.
