Summary: Family Feast
Comment: This program provides one with all of the neccessities to track and record their family tree and the
ability to add footnotes and other memorandum to the individuals. It is able to retain all of the
information fed into it and record what one wants written out in all different kinds of formats. I
highly recommend this program to all who are interested in their "roots" or just want to leave
information to their progeny.
I not only had a good time working on it but was able to
reestablish relations with distant relatives.

Summary: User friendly for all ages and ability
Comment: I teach Family Tree Maker to senior citizens and am an amateur genealogist. It usually takes no more
than an hour or two for my students to get around enough basics about Family Tree Maker to start
entering their genealogy. It has clear windows and comfortably large fonts, very user friendly error
messages that actually make sense.... (ie when typing a name all in lower case, a message pops up
saying "the name may have too many or too few capital letters" and you have the option to make the
change right there or use the "auto-fix" button).
As another review mentions, this is first and
foremost a data entry tool for genealogy, as well as a data output tool such as family trees of
various configuration, several standardized reports, and my favorite: the ability to put a genealogy
book together.
Family Tree Maker's helpful research tools should be used in combination with
classic research mediums: Libraries, genealogy groups, the internet, historical societies, local
town halls....

Summary: This is Software!
Comment: I just have to respond to the review I saw regarding "Andy" who could not just pull up his ancestry
with the touch of a button. This is software to help you compile information - NOBODY gets that
info for free! There is a lot of research involved in finding your family tree. I have only
version 8.0 so far, but it is an awesome program that really manages my info - like it is supposed
to. Go to a history center or courthouse and roll up your sleeves if you really want to find your
history!!

Summary: Looks Great But...
Comment: I am writing this for anyone who might make the same mistake as me. I bought this thinking that i
might be able to increase my knowledge of my own geneology, and it looked promising. I got many
results after my first search. However, when i clicked on each individual item that the program
found as a lead, they would give me no further information unless i subscribed further to their
services. After already spending 50 dollars, they were asking me to make yearly subscription-adding
up to hundreds of dollars per year. While I'd love to be able to trace my geneolgoy, I must say
thanks, but no thanks.
