Our Family [Posted on 2008-04-06]
I've been researching my family tree for twelve years and I bought this program when it first came out. I've tried other programs in the past but FAILY TREE MAKER is the one I fell in love with. The pedigree chart is customizable so I got it to look the way I want it to. My only problem with this program is the book feature. I can't create it the way I want to but that's a minor thing because I have the creativity to create my own book by other means. FAMILY TREE MAKER is great for organizing your family. For ten years I was so stressed and overwhelmed by all the names I had collected that I couldn't find a way to keep them organized the way I wanted to. FAMILY TREE MAKER took that weight off my shoulders. I'm thinking about the upgraded version but according to the reviews I've read it doesn't have many of the features "16" has. This is the one I recommend and will stay with until I'm shown a version and can out match the one I'm currently using.

It did not solve my problem. [Posted on 2008-04-19]
I bought this product because FTM 16 that I have been using for a couple of years crashed on me and the original disk would not reinstall. I purchased another copy in hopes that a new disk would get me back in business. It has the same problem as my original disk and will not install on my XP Professional Computer. I don't think it fair to blame my problem on the particular copy of FTM or Amazon. I am not sure whether to blame Ancestry.com or Microsoft for my difficulties.

I have found that Family Tree Maker is very user-friendly and easy to manipulate. I know my whole family will enjoy what I have done so far and will easily be able to add and/or edit as they see fit.

I was not completely satified with this software. It was not made clear that I would have to buy more software to complete my genology search.

Family Tree Maker version 16 [Posted on 2008-05-08]
My original Family Tree Maker program was so old,(version8) I had problems with [...] and had never learned to use the program efficently.

I have not had time to actually use Version 16, but I really like the method of viewing the families with much of the relevant inforamtion on one page.

I think I will enjoy this program.

I had read many reviews of the most recent Family Tree Maker program and decided that version was not ready for prime time. Version 16 seems to be a good fit for my needs.
