   I bought the deluxe version as my version 5 wouldnt load onto windown 98 So i just came to amazon com figuring they would have the best price Being 71 I wanted to do my family tree before i passed on The big problem was that they dont tell you the diff in the two versions As for the solfware itself its top notch and is easy to use right out of the box was quite surprisd when i found out it was $20.00 cheaper at a number of stores for the delux edition Oh well ill be sure to look around more next time Carl T Rock

   This product offers a lot on the description but if it can provide the information it is not something you find easily. It keeps giving you many names and cities you do not want nor have you listed. It will not give you local newspaper information on obituary or birth announcements. It will give you a lot of other information if you have most of it yourself. I still can not find my grandmother.

   Having just started working on my genealogy I found an instant problem with compiling the many different people and generations. I decided to try Ancestry's Family Tree Maker because it offered a three month membership to [...]. It has been worth every penny. It is easy to learn and very user friendly. Finding people is a snap and adding new ones is very easy. All the additional features such as media storage, merging facts from the internet, and printing reports are great. This is a must have for anyone interested in organizing family information.Family Tree Maker 2010 Deluxe

   I have been using FTM since version 8. Each version is better then the last. This one has some great features. Some of my favorites are the timeline report, maps and links to mycanvas (projects online). FTM makes it easy to collect and organize information. It also makes it easy to share that information with my family. I can print up pretty pages and charts which everyone loves to have a copy of. I love how easy it is to customize the reports / projects to suit my needs. FTM has helped me trace my family back over 5 generations and connect with distant family members around the world.
