Tracing your roots will take some investigative work and lots of time, but the end result will be a truly rewarding and emotional journey into your past!"

FAMILY TREE MAKER 2006:

Build your tree:
Getting started is easy. Just enter the information you already know and watch your tree take shape. As your research gets going, you can add new relatives to your tree storing other information you've collected along the way; birth dates, birthplaces, marriages and deaths. You can easily add notes, photos, images and documents on each person, to tell his or her story.

Search for ancestors:
The program will automatically search the largest online collection of family history information at Ancestry.co.uk. A Web Search Report allows you to compare the search results side-by-side with the information in your tree, so you can quickly determine whether it's relevant. You can then merge the record directly into your Family Tree file

Design trees, charts, reports and more:
Bring your family story to life by designing and customising a wide variety of charts, trees and reports with images, photos, colours fonts and borders. You can even create a family tree album as a precious keepsake to pass down through the generations

Share results with family and friends:
Once you've completed all the hard work and research, it's time to share your results with family and friends. Produce a professional looking family book, print-out heirloom quality family trees, publish a family web page, or email your family file to others around the world

Customer Reviews

Who do you think you are????
I really enjoy making my Family tree!
There is now so many new members of my family I have found just by using this. Ive had no problem at all loading known members or unknown members on to my tree.
Its so easy to use and simple to learn, I have even brought the product for my mum to do as a past time.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH
I bought this deluxe version of the Family tree maker recently,only to find I cannot add my own brother to it ! nor my own childrens wife/partners or grandchildren what is the point of any family tree,if you cannot even add you own brother? as he is part of my family tree.
I am disgusted with this tree maker. do not buy it you are wasting your money.

Most features on 'Who Do You Think You Are? Family Tree Maker Deluxe' are unaffected by the new version of Microsoft Windows, Windows Vista. However, certain aspects (like exporting a view, book, or tree to PDF) will not function without an important update for Family Tree Maker. This update is completely free, and steps for updating your program can be found on the developers website, this can be reached via the Technical Support area of the GSP website.
