Family history is a fun, rewarding hobby that connects you with your past — and brings you closer to your present family. Just getting started? Family Tree Maker 2008 makes it easy to explore and preserve your family heritage.
Already an expert? You’ll appreciate the program’s robust features, including flexible data-management options and a wide variety of output choices.
If you’re familiar with a previous version of Family Tree Maker — the #1 genealogy software since 1989 — you’ll notice that the program has a fresh new look and feel. FTM developers have made it easier than ever to enter, view and edit your data.
