Customer Reviews
FTM 2006 and 1/2 a years membership to Ancestry.co.uk
An outstanding program to use for genealogy.
Includes free membership to Ancestry.co.uk for 6 months, a great resource.
I found that this software was easy to install and easy to use, and provides many different reports and types of trees.
There are many excellent features in the software, including the ability to share the tree on-line with relatives.
I highly recommend it!
Additional discs
Whilst the FTM 2006 is very good, albeit Americanised with its date format, and the access to Ancestry very good value indeed, the much trumpeted additional discs "worth £200" are useless unless you happen to be searching the very narrow areas they cover.
Disappointing.
A must have for all budding geneologists
I bought this software to print off my family tree that I have been researching for several years now. Having read a few previous reviews I was a little nervous about buying this! However, I need not have worried as it printed off the tree in all its glory and you can do it in different formats too! I am still working through the software currently to see what else it offers, but at the moment I am really pleased that I bought this!
