5 out of 5 stars FTM 2009   September 24, 2008

I have used Family Tree Maker since 1996. I was very disappointed with the 2008 version but I stuck with it because I knew it was an entirely new program and it would take time to find out what all the issues are and make the corrections. I was very glad to find out that they decided to scrap 2008 and were working on the 2009 version. I was a beta tester for 2009 and I was very impressed with how hard the staff worked to correct problems and how they were willing to listen to suggestions. One of the big problems with 2008 was the fact that it constantly crashed. Since I have been working with 2009 crashing hasn't been an issue. Since the media files are kept in a separate file, 2009 does not take as long to open as it did in versions prior to 2008. I do know that some people still say it takes too long to open for them, so they are still working on this problem. It has been said that the charts and reports are not as good as they were in versions prior to 2008. New charts and reports have been added and more are expected to be added, but this is an area where you must be willing to "play" with the options to really see what is available. Since I had so many problems with 2008 I didn't use the new features that were introduced, but I have tried them in 2009 and they are very useful. The web clipping feature is helpful. Please make someone aware of any issue's or concerns that you may have with 2009. Issues do need to be prioritized so your issue may not be taken care of right away, but someone is listening to all issues.





5 out of 5 stars A Truly Elegant Product   September 24, 2008

I have beta-tested both FTM 2008 and 2009 and have had excellent dealings with all the staff involved. From the first I realized that this product is a highly progressive and intuitive program, and it has been a joy to use. The continuing research by the developers of additional modifications to make the software even more user friendly is always on-going. I have used Family Tree Maker for a number of years, and I would truly be lost if I were to revert to either older versions or try and cope with another brand of genealogical sofware entirely. The on-line tutorials are great, as there are always little things that you either haven't tried, or forget about. All in all, I highly recommend FTM 2009 as an essential tool in any serious genealogical research.

FTM Deluxe is a great tool and manages family trees and people with ease. I was able to use it without reading a lot of directions, but when you have questions it does have a very good help feature. Being able to search the Internet and genealogical websites using data on people you have is a quick way to find people. FTM Deluxe shows you hits in one window and the facts from your tree in another, allowing you to see everything you need. It also compares hits and sorts them by relevance, saving time. The best feature is being able to merge data for people you find, plus merging data for related people. This is the first tool I've used that actually seems like it was designed by a genealogist and it really makes internet searches work. It's great for beginners and experts alike. It comes with a 30-day free membership to Ancestry.com and with this tool you can find a lot of data there quickly.

Very user friendly and easy to learn. Down loading GED files was simple. Very good for the beginner but use the tutorials.
