From Ancestry - the UK release of Family Tree Maker 2010.
Ancestry.co.uk, the UK’s No. 1 family history website, today announced the release of Ancestry.co.uk Family Tree Maker™ 2010, a new and improved version of the world's best-selling family history software.
Family Tree Maker 2010 provides users with the tools to build their family tree, record memories and organize family photos, stories, videos and audio clips, enabling them to both preserve and share the story of their ancestors.
The collection of family history records and powerful search features available on Ancestry.co.uk can also be fully utilized - without leaving Family Tree Maker. When connected to the Internet, Family Tree Maker 2010 automatically searches Ancestry.co.uk for historical records related to family members included the user's family tree. With a few clicks of the mouse, users with an Ancestry.co.uk subscription can view and import these historical records into their family tree.
This new software also provides unique ways for users to view their family history. For example, users can now track the migration paths of both an individual and their family through time by mapping event locations with Microsoft® Bing™ Maps. They can also view relationships between any two people in their family tree by using the improved relationship calculator, creating family books made from information and photos saved into their tree.
Ancestry.co.uk International Commerce & Business Development Director Angela Wiseman comments: “In the last 20 years, Family Tree Maker has enabled people to explore and discover their family history online and then organise and preserve it using industry-leading software.
“Family Tree Maker 2010’s even richer storytelling and organizational tools can breathe new life into the family history research process.”

Anyone intending to use this product should be forwarned to backup their data & files prior to installing FTM2010. This product already has built a reputation in the US for causing computer crashes, loss of data files, poor imports of data, & misfiled or re-filed data. Buyer beware on this product.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric. I really hated FTM 2008, but thought they had sorted a lot of it out with FTM 2009. Sigh...! :)
