Family Tree Maker 2009 Essentials Reviews
I still find it difficult to move around the tree to different people and get their information up. Now, I've been using computers since I was a child, and am quite comfortable with them, but I am having a terrible time navigating around this software. It does not recognize sources that I linked to people in Ancestry, and keeps giving me hints for these sources. and decided it was time to get desktop software, and decided to get FTM 2009 because I figured it would make things easier to switch back and forth. I am having problems with merging information as well. It has a lot of room for your notes and sources and media and all kinds of fun stuff. I've been doing genealogy on and off for years, and haven't used FTM for a while.
I am having to go in, person by person, and ignore all these hints so I don't have the little leaf on every single person. It hasn't crashed (I've got Windows XP). It just isn't really intuitive, and it's likely you'll have to sit down with the instructions to figure out how to do some really basic things (no, the 1920 census is not an "alternate fact" to the 1930 censusit's a completely new source. I've been rebuilding my family history [.]. The help files have not been useful, and the email I sent has yet to be answered. Gah).I have issues with any software that you end up having to buy another instruction book to really make use of it, but that's what I guess I will have to do here. I don't want to scare people off of the software.
I run this on my old junky laptop and it runs really well. I have very little time anymore so when I sit down to work on this I need it to be easy to figure out, easy to manage, and I need it to run quickly. This version is soooooo much better than the prior one. Runs quickly, easy to import pictures and video. This version does all of that.
It does so much and makes it easy to find where I need to add/update/correct/research information. Also, by buying it on Amazon I saved over purchasing directly from the FTM site. I recommend it highly. This newest version is FANTASTIC. I upgraded to 2005 and took classes but never really got into doing much. I can easily enter source information and media as well as standardize data such as locations. I inherited FTM 2003 from my Dad with thousands of family records. Thanks.
FTM Version 2008 needed patch to run on Vista - was funky and clunky - version FTM 16 better. This newer version seems to work better - and with pronises of improvements - couldbe a much better product. Have owned FTM versions since version 1. FTM Version 16 still is better but has compatabilty problems with Windows Vista.
It is the same item sold elsewhere for a lot more money and they have less time on the internet. It is a lot more program than past ones and will take some time to become a pro at, but is intutitive enough most anyone will be up and running in a short amount of time. Family Tree Maker 2009 essentials is a very complete package.
