Family Tree Maker 2010 is the newest incarnation of the
Family Tree Maker software, the finest family tree
building software on the market today. As the premier
genealogy software available at the moment, it has a vast collection of premium features, ideal
for the beginner or the experienced genealogist. This
vast collection of features comes at an extremely
reasonable price of just $39.95. We were extremely
impressed by the astounding set of features available
on Family Tree Maker 2010, and with a an
excellent pedigree (being part of the Ancestry.com group), we can, with the greatest conviction, recommend
Family Tree Maker 2010 as our No. 1 rated Genealogy
Software.
We were very excited by the possibilities afforded to
users in creating and managing their family tree. It's
extremely easy to create your own family tree, beginning
by entering your own personal information and then
expanding the tree into the past by inputting all known
information about your ancestors. One of the best
features of Family Tree Maker 2010 is that users can
download their Ancestry.com family tree from their online
accounts and merge it with an existing tree on Family
Tree Maker 2010. As Ancestry.com is our No. 1 rated
Genealogy Website, we are certain that the combination of
Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker 2010 is the perfect
opportunity for users to create a wonderful family tree.
Family Tree Maker 2010 also has improved performance with
the importing of GEDCOM and .FTW files, and new features
which allow users to view detailed statistics about the
individuals in your tree, such as average life spans,
earliest and latest birth dates and more.
One of the features which really sets Family Tree Maker
2010 aside from rival products is the web dashboard,
which has undergone numerous enhancements in the newest
edition. Firstly, the web dashboard provides integration
with Ancestry.com allowing users automatic data sourcing
from a user account with Ancestry.com (or from the
various free resources on Ancestry.com if you don't have
an Ancestry.com subscription). This means that users
don't need to use a web browser to search for data
separately, and then manually enter it into the Family
Tree Maker 2010 software, but can simply perform
integrated searches within the software for specific
information. Users can also view twitter feeds from
Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker within their personal
web dashboard, to check out what is happening in the
world of online genealogy.
Family Tree Maker 2010 also supports a wide range of
media additions to your family tree. We firmly believe
that one of the greatest pleasures in creating a family
tree is looking at the various images that you collect
through your research and sharing them with other members
of your family. Family Tree Maker 2010 has numerous
features that make adding media to your family tree
extremely simple. Family Tree Maker 2010 includes
integrated scanner support, which allows users to add
images directly to their family tree using your scanner.
Users can also draw images directly from Ancestry.com and
download them directly to your family tree. It's very
simple to categorize and organise your media and create
wonderful slideshows of your family history that are
great to share with other members of your family.
Finally, users can group media items to manage them as a
group. We were extremely impressed by what Family Tree
Maker 2010 has to offer in terms of media additions to
your family tree.
Family Tree Maker 2010 also has a collection of advanced
features intended to appeal to the more experienced
genealogist. Users can make use of the
GPS/Latitude-Longitude features to mark prominent
locations in the lives of your ancestors on a digital
map. The 'places workspace' allows users to access and
modify GPS coordinates that are included in the
statistics section of your family tree. Users can add
maps to their trees to illustrate the geographical
distribution of your ancestry. Migration maps are also
available so that you can plot the movement of your
family throughout their lives. Finally, the offline
'Places Authority' acts as a geographical encyclopaedia
or atlas, meaning you don't need to research the details
of your ancestors' address - instead, simply look it up and
automatically add the information to your family tree. We
love these features, and think they give Family Tree
Maker 2010 a long lifespan, even for those users who are
expert genealogists working to improve their family
trees!
Family Tree Maker 2010 has an incredibly advanced toolbox
that contains a number of useful features that are
intended to make the process of creating your family tree
easier. Users can create timelines to plot the lives of
their key ancestors, including their education,
occupation, migration, marriage and more, complete with
images, maps and data. The relationship calculator takes
the difficulty out of working out how all of the members
of your family tree are related - with just a simple
click the relationship calculator tells you how all the family members in your tree are related to each other. With the global
spell checker feature, users can be sure that all names,
place names and workplaces are spelt correctly, even if
they are written in foreign languages. What's more, users
can create beautiful books, reports, charts and more
using the dedicated Ancestry.com store. Users can
incorporate the images and diagrams featured in their
family tree to create beautiful gifts and materials that
share their research with the rest of their family.
Amazing!
Family Tree Maker 2010 really does tick all of the boxes.
We feel that with such a vast collection of advanced features,
all intended to make the process of building your family
tree that little bit easier, Family Tree Maker 2010
rightly occupies our number one spot in this category.
While it's always important to check the system
requirements before you buy software, if Family Tree
Maker 2010 will work on your system, we wholeheartedly
recommend you give it a try. Click on the button below to check
