Upgrading from a Previous Version of Family Tree Maker
Family Tree Maker 2011 upgrades are simple. The new version is installed in a new directory so your previous program is untouched. I recommend making a copy of your family tree data to use with FTM 2012. You can open your files with the new version and remove the old one when you’re ready.

PC Genealogy Software Feature Comparison
I’ve found the selection of the best genealogy software is a highly personal matter. What’s best for you will come down to the presence or absence of a short list of features that are critical to the way you practice genealogy.
I’ve examined the leading genealogy software and compiled a list of features to help you choose. I have copies of all of these except Legacy Deluxe. When I could not verify a feature I relied on third-party sources and product websites. While I have done the best I can to ensure the information provided on this page is correct, it is offered with no warranty. If you note any errors or omissions please contact me.
