Excellent Software for All Experience Levels
I am an experienced family researcher and currently have just under 22,000 names in my database. I have been a Family Tree Maker (FTM) user since 1998 and have purchased every upgrade since that time. I administer two surname DNA projects and routinely help others with their family research.
*FTM v16 is currently, without question, my genealogy software of choice
Like many others in the faithful legions of FTM users, I routinely ordered FTM 2008 before it even came out on blind fath that each new version has been even better than before. Like so many other FTM 2008 users, I was truly shocked to find they had dropped approximately 39 core functions from the previous version, FTM v16, and found that I could no longer do many of the very basic reports that experienced researchers do so often. I quickly returned my copy of FTM 2008 in total disgust and went back to FTM v16 which now continues to meet my many needs.
*I heartily recommend FTM v16 as your "go back" version for anyone who has ordered FTM 2008, returned it in total disgust, and are now looking for a fully-featured version of Family Tree Maker. (Some users had "upgraded" directly from FTM 2005 to FTM 2008, for example, and had missed the fully-featured FTM v16 version in the process)
*I also believe that FTM v16 compares very favorably with Legacy, RootsMagic, and other comparable genealogy softwares.
* If you are a Vista user, all you need to do is download a patch from FTM to make FTM v16 "Vista compatible."
*I also strongly recommend FTM v16 to novice researchers who are purchasing genealogy software for the very first time. It is very intuitive, starts you out very gently in a guided fashion, but then also has the more sophisticated functions you will find very useful as your experience grows.
There are more sophisticated softwares out there, but in some cases, their learning curves are just not worth the trouble. I want a software that works for me, rather than me having the feeling I am instead working for the software.
*Bottom line, I was loyal to FTM v16 before "upgrading" to FTM 2008, and now that I have returned back to FTM v16, I appreciate it's simple, clean, reliable, straightforward performance even more than ever before.
*Without hesitation, I fully recommend FTM v16 to family researchers of all experience levels.

Although not the latest version of Family Tree Maker, it solved the issues I was having with FTM 2005. It installed easily and the interface with the internet works well. Will try FTM 2008 when it shows more promise.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find where this new version imported my notes on people. Also this one left out the burial location. I'm going back to my old version.

I had a previous version and this has many more report possibilities, a nice improvement. I have been using this product for many years, I upgrade about every 3 to four years
