Family Tree Maker 2009 |

I really like the Family Tree Maker 2009. We recently purchased a new computer and printer and had everything from our old Family Tree Maker #8 converted to this new one. It worked perfectly. |

Avoid FTM 2009 |
|
I have used Family Tree Maker since the beginning (original company was Banner Blue Software; first version was a DOS program). In my opinion, the Generations Network has ruined a great product. FTM 2008 and 2009 are full of bugs, are very slow running and lack some of the features that were included in FTM v16 (an excellent program). If you can get a copy of FTM v16: get it. |

This product is a great helpmate to use with [...].My only advice is to use it when you begin your search for ancestors, rather than after you have all ready been searching on Ancestry, or you will pretty much have to re enter all of your data.It will help sort out all the various amounts of info found, and help to weed out any errors.I give this product an "A". |

My Wife Loves It! |
My wife is an avid genealogist and has been using Family Tree Maker for many years. I purchased this for her to replace FTM 2006 that she has been using for the last 3 years or so since that version would not run properly on our new Windows Vista PC (by the way, this 2009 version runs fine on Vista 64 bit, SP1). We had purposefully skipped the upgrade to FTM 2008 because of all the negative reviews we had read.
My wife has been using FTM 2009 for about 3 weeks now, and she loves it. She tells me that there is nothing she could do in FTM 2006 that she cannot do in FTM 2009. (One caveat here - she uses FTM extensively as a research tool and as, of course, a database, but she does not do much printing / publishing with it). She did say there is some "re-learning" to be done, figuring out where to go in the new interface to get things done, but she found the included printed documentation helpful in that regard. Furthermore, she loves how well integrated the Internet is with the rest of the application; e.g., she really likes the integration of Microsoft Virual Earth under the "Places" tab.
One minor issue we had getting it all set up was the download & install of the Enhanced Image Viewer. While the installation file itself downloaded from Ancestry.com OK, it was not an executable file as downloaded. In order to run it, I had to manually add ".exe" to the end of the file name to make it an executable. Then, every time we tried to run it, we got a generic error message that said the installation had failed & to contact FTM support. Only after rebotting the PC & restarting FTM 2009, would it then install. But, in the end, I did not feel this minor annoyance warranted taking away a "star" from my ranking.
