Only so-so

This product gets the basics done, but is somewhat cumbersome to use, and my copy did not connect to the internet like it was supposed to. I would not recommend this particular version.

UNSTABLE

I finally got used to the new format of FTM 2008 and 2009. What I cannot get used to is that the program frequently closes for no apparent reason and gives me an error message. The folks at FTM/Ancestry instructed me to go into a particular directory and delete a certain folder and restart the...

Older versions offer more

Many of the reports, views, etc. from the older version are missing in this version. Available reports cannot be customized as much as in the older version. Printing is a nightmare, and apparently impossible with a wide format printer-which my old version handled just fine. I uninstalled it...

family tree maker 2008 essentials

The program is really different from the older version that I had. A lot of what I wished would be on the front page is there now but drop down menus are really different. Take the time to learn the program as it is different. I think I will really like it when I learn how to use all the...

Great product but be patient

Overall a great program but needs to be more user friendly. Do not expect to understand how to use this program in one day. I would give it a week because the manual is not clear in it's instructions nor is the Help link. However once you do figure it out, it is a very powerful and useful...

Family tree maker

Got the Family tree maker, put it on my computer, and it freezes up alot. Is very frustrating. Legacy software is better and easier to navigate around in. Had more success with Legacy. Would reccomend Legacy instead.

The version that made me quit Family Tree Maker

I've been doing genealogy for over 15 years and for most of that time, I used Family Tree Maker. I've never been happy with the way it handled sources, which I've never felt was a particularly dynamic system, but I've always stuck with it. I used Heritage Family Tree Deluxe for awhile and liked...

Superb Genealogy Software

I've been a user of genealogy software for many years, and the 2008 version of Family Tree Maker is the easiest version yet, as well as the most powerful. In fact, I have made the transition from a much more complex package over to Family Tree Maker 2008 as my primary genealogical database tool.

Family Tree Maker 2008 Features Disappointing

I've been a faithful FTM user since 1992 and have had no problems or complaints with the product until now. In the years I've been using FTM I was able to create a book of my family history and either convert it to a PDF or text file for publishing. Now, FTM 2008 has done away with the book...
