 A Purchase I've Regretted Over and Over May 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been a user of FTM software (version after version) for years. Not only was this a disappointment, but I wasn't able to get out of it once I installed it. Now my old FTM won't accept my files. It has been a BIG setback for our genealogy work. I wrote to the company and they gave me the standard runaround, thanking me for my input. I keep hoping they will put out a better version, less glitz and some substance again. One of the (minor) things I miss is the calendar ... so great for keeping track of special family dates. If Amazon provided a way to rate a product a ZERO I wouldn't have given it a 1.

I have been using Family Tree Maker for many years, and have a very lengthy data file that goes back almost 20 generations in various lines. I find this upgrade to be something close to a horror. It is very slow to load, unintuitive and difficult to get information into or correct. I feel like the authors wanted to put together something for scapbookers (no offense) who were mostly interested in organizing photographs of several generations and adding some information. That is a far different goal from managing a huge database that goes back more than 500 years! The help functions are very confusing. I wish I had stuck with an earlier version.

Family Tree Maker 2008 Deluxe
This is a good product, much improved over the 2006 version. It has a lot of new features which make it easier to navigate and view family members. The only thing I don't like is that there is so much in the program that it seems to take longer to get from one screen to the next. All in all I like it very much.

I've used earlier FTM products and been moderately happy with them. Not so with FTM 2008, which is mostly a major step back. The only positive is an improved way of managing sources with multiple citations. The major negatives are: (1) The slowest program to initialize I've ever seen, (2) Grossly inadequate help - they seem to be trying to force people to pay an extra $26 for the information they should have included, (3) A big step backward in reports - too few, and unless used in the most simplistic way they frequently give mysterious results, (4) Bugs/design flaws - One example, I have one man who was married twice. The FTM 2008 "Register Report" insists on printing the 2nd one first, and there apparently is no way to control this. And it prints out nonsense like "Isaac Newman and Eliza Evidon. He married Ruth Chase", where Ruth is wife one, Eliza wife two. (5) Because of this and other howlers, I found it necessary do editing. They dont make this easy - to get an .rtf file out you need to stumble on an undocumented right-click at a crucial momdent. The .rtf file, when read into WORD, is a complex table that is exceedingly tedious and difficult to modify. Bottom line: I should have read the reviews before purchase!
