Rating: - Family Tree Maker 2008 Platinum
After much research and discussions we purchased Family Tree Maker 2008-Platinum. As a beginner it has been very easy to use and understand. After 3 weeks of the purchase we purchased the same software for my brother so that we could both research our family history. With this purchase we received 6 months of [...] and that has been just as fabulous...easy to use and understand.
Rating: - Good guide to the 2008 version
I was given the Familiy Tree Maker without documentation as a gift. I found that the 2008 version was enhanced over my older version and this book really helped me to use the features in this version. It would have been nice if there were a few more examples as I am new to collecting geneology information. I would recommending buying this book if you are new to version 2008.
Rating: - Family Tree Maker 2008 Guide
Very good companion to the software. Photo detail. I'm still not sure if I prefer this to the previous family tree maker....some great upgrades and some I wish they had left alone. If you have never used previous FTM programs, you'll love this.....
Rating: - If you don't like reading a pdf buy this book for Family Tree Maker
This is the same book that is included on the program disk in pdf format. I prefer sitting in a chair and leafing through the book to trying to read it on the computer. The 2008 version of Family Tree Maker is very different (much more Internet integrated)from prior versions. It is worth reading either this book or the pdf if you are going to be serious about tracing your family tree. There are lots of hints and explanations. I'm not sure I'd buy it again but I'd sure be looking for one to borrow!
