Family Tree Maker 2012 takes our No. 1 Choice Award in the Genealogy Software category. It is the newest incarnation of the
Family Tree Maker software and has an
excellent pedigree (being part of the award-winning Ancestry.com group). We were extremely
impressed by the collection of premium features available
on Family Tree Maker 2012, and think it is ideal
for both beginner and experienced genealogists. At $39.99 is is very reasonably priced too.
Many possibilities are afforded when creating and managing your family tree. To begin with, it's
extremely easy to create your own family tree, 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 2012 is that users can
download their Ancestry.com family tree from their online
account and merge it with an existing tree on Family
Tree Maker 2012. As Ancestry.com is our No. 1 rated
Genealogy Website, we are certain that the combination of
Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker 2012 is a great
opportunity for you to create a wonderful family tree.
Family Tree Maker 2012 also has improved performance with
the importing of GEDCOM and .FTW files, and new features
which allow you 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 it apart 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 automatic data sourcing
from your 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 you don't need to use a web browser to search for data
separately, and then manually enter it into the Family
Tree Maker 2012 software, but can simply perform
integrated searches within the software for specific
information. You can also view twitter feeds from
Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker within your personal
web dashboard, to check out what is happening in the
world of online genealogy.
The software also supports a wide range of
media additions to your family tree. 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. You will find numerous
features that make adding media to your family tree
extremely simple. There is also
integrated scanner support, which allows you to add
images directly to your family tree using your scanner.
You can also draw images directly from Ancestry.com and
download them directly to your family tree. It's very
simple to categorize and organize your media and create
wonderful slideshows of your family history that are
great to share with other members of your family.
Finally, you can group media items to manage them as a
group. So we were extremely impressed by what Family Tree
Maker 2012 has to offer in terms of media additions to
your family tree.
Family Tree Maker 2012 also has a collection of advanced
features intended to appeal to the more experienced
genealogist. You 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 you to access and
modify GPS coordinates that are included in the
statistics section of your family tree. You can add
maps to your 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 an ancestor's 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 2012 a long lifespan, even for those users who are
expert genealogists working to improve their family
trees!
The software 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. You can create timelines to plot the lives of
your key ancestors, including their education,
occupation, migration, marriage and more, complete with
images, maps and data. The relationship calculator make it easy to work 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, you can be sure that all names,
place names and workplaces are spelt correctly, even if
they are written in foreign languages. What's more, you
can create impressive books, reports, charts and more
using the dedicated Ancestry.com store. You can even use the images and diagrams featured in your
family tree in a fun way to create beautiful gifts and materials for sharing with the rest of your family.
Family Tree Maker 2012 seems to tick all of the boxes.
We feel that with such an impressive collection of advanced features,
all intended to make the process of building your family
tree that little bit easier, this product
rightly occupies our number one spot in this category.
It's always important to check the system
requirements before you buy software, so please be sure that Family Tree
Maker 2012 will work on your system before you buy it.
