4.0 out of 5 stars Strings attached to "free" Ancestry.com subscription, March 16, 2007

By	L. Busch "Here to Seek and Share Info" (Western USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If the "free" Ancestry.com subscription is a consideration in your decision to purchase Family Tree Maker, you might want to know there are strings attached. Even though the 9 months are free, Ancestry.com requires a credit card number along with your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. Why would they want that information unless they intend to automatically bill you and extend the subscription at the end of 9 months? No information is provided on how to to cancel the subscription at the end of the free period.

4.0 out of 5 stars Family Tree Maker, March 8, 2007

By	Deb C - See all my reviews

I really enjoy using this program, much better than what was out there 5 - 10 years ago when I last worked on genealogy. I love the Ancestry.com feature, it is wonderful to go find your grandparents, great-grandparents and even great-great grandparents in the US Census. I have found out a few things that I didn't know, unfortunately my Mother recently passed away, and I have no one to verify some of it with. I would suggest that anyone contemplating this program gets it now, and starts working while you still have elders who can help you sort through the information you find. I also found a family tree out there from someone who only lives a few blocks from where we used to live. She has traced her family back to the 1500's in Germany...and it appears that they are related to us. It was strange to go to her website and find a picture of my Great Grandparents headstone. It was just another branch of the family. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars flawless, May 13, 2007

By	R. A. Severson (Orange Park, Fl.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When my old computer gave up the ghost and crashed I lost 10 years of research on my family roots. I had backup cds but they were from a previous version of FTM. After several conversations with the FTM tech folks. they assured me that the new FTM 16 would do the job for me.
After I loaded FTM 16 with a patch for MS vista, which I received from FTM forum, the backup disk loaded the data flawlessly. I am quite happy with this new program & the speed it arrived from Amazon.com .
