Family Tree Maker 2006

• Getting Started is Fast & Easy
  Family Tree Maker's Getting Started tutorial guides you step-by-step through entering data, searching for your ancestors, preserving important family information and stories, and creating unique family trees and books to display your legacy.
  
  
• Pedigree View

  
  Family Tree Maker's new Pedigree View allows you to quickly and easily navigate your family tree. You can view up to seven generations or as few as three. When navigating to other generations in your tree, animation will help you see how the tree is changing, so you won't get lost.
  
  

• Family View

  
  Family Tree Maker's Family View makes it easy to enter and view information about a single family unit. You can easily add more details and notes about an individual or a marriage, photographs or other images, additional spouses or other family members, and sources of your information.
  
  

• Store Countless Facts
  Store a virtually unlimited number of facts for every individual in your Family File. We've already created fact categories (like births, deaths, marriages, emigration, etc.) so it's simple to use.
  
  
• Multimedia Scrapbook
  Every person in your Family File can have his or her own digital Scrapbook. Store and display almost any type of information - including sound, video, and text files - along with a wide variety of graphic formats.
  
  
• View Two Family Files Simultaneously
  View, compare, and edit Family Files side-by-side. You can check for similarities and differences between your files and ones you receive from family members or other genealogists, before or after merging.
  

• Design: Customize Your Charts and Reports
  Showcase your family history with your own personal, stylish touches. Choose from a variety of professionally designed templates, add memorable photos, and embellish your printouts with your favorite colours, fonts, and box and border styles. Even create multimedia trees complete with audio and video clips.
  
  
• Design: Countless Heirloom-Quality Printouts
  Display your family history with Family Tree Maker's wide array of attractive trees, reports, maps, and more - from one-of-a-kind personal keepsakes to beautiful heirloom-quality printouts.
  
  
• Design: All-in-One Tree
  The All-in-One tree allows you to display every member of your Family File in one continuous tree. Create one for your next reunion - your family and friends will be delighted.
  
  
• Design: Maps and Timelines
  Trace your family's journey through time and across continents. Maps display the various location in which your ancestors lived, while Timelines display your ancestors against the historic milestones that helped shape their lives - and yours.
  
  
• Design: Family Books
  Family Tree Maker lets you combine your favorite printouts into a book, then automatically generates a Table of Contents, Index, and more. Print a keepsake copy for a loved one or publish it on your own personal Home Page to share with everyone.
  
  
• Share: Share Your History with Friends & Family

  
  Using Family Tree Maker's export features, you can easily share your family trees, books, and reports electronically with relatives that do not own Family Tree Maker. Family Tree Maker allows you to output your information to PDF, GEDCOM, spreadsheet, and text file formats.
  
  

• Share: Publish your tree on the Internet
  Share your findings on a FREE User Home Page on Genealogy.com. A home page wizard makes the process a snap - just choose which individuals you want to include and the page will be created in minutes.

Although a large proportion of the databases are very much North American based, a good proportion of the database does contain UK families so it is always worth a look. If your family tree links to ancestors who emigrated to the USA then it could prove very useful.


• Search: One-Click Searching to Find Leads on Your Ancestors

  
  Family Tree Maker's web search feature will automatically search the world's largest online genealogical databases for more information on the people in your tree, and will rank the results to easily identify the ones that are most likely to be your ancestors. The FTM Web Search Report makes it easy to compare the information found online with the people in your tree, so you can quickly determine which information is relevant to you.
  
  

• Search: Web Merge Process

  
  Merging and appending data from the web has never been easier. Now Family Tree Maker takes the guesswork out of merging. An easy to use wizard guides you through the incorporation of each new record you find. You can either accept Family Tree Maker's recommendations and add the new data in one step, or you can use the wizard to choose which information to add and whether to make the data 'preferred' or 'alternate' information. None of your existing information will be overwritten.
  
  

• Search: Save time
  One of the most difficult tasks of family historians is finding the time to research and learn more about their family trees. Family Tree Maker 2005 can save you valuable time and makes searching for and finding ancestors easier than ever. Once you begin entering family names and building your tree, and as long as you're connected to the Internet, Family Tree Maker is working for you.

• Enjoy improved searching and merging
  

  
  Change web-search criteria in various ways without ever changing your data in Family Tree Maker®. Merge Ancestry.com records and images with any individual in your records and edit citation information before merging. Another helpful addition: all records stored in Family Tree Maker® 2006 can now be linked directly to the related source records on Ancestry.com.
  
  

• Manage sources better than ever before
  View all the sources associated with a single fact or person in the new , Source Usage Report. Easily connect a single citation to multiple facts with the new Copy and Paste feature. You can also quickly identify and replace duplicate master sources without losing any information.
  
  
• Streamline your data entry
  The new and improved Edit Individual box simplifies the process of entering basic information about a person from the Pedigree view. It also makes it easier for you to see related sources for that person. And now you can enter four times as many notes in the Notes field - up to 1MB of text.
  
  
• Easily create a variety of colorful charts and reports
  Use Family Tree Maker® to view, customize, print and publish generations of your family tree. Choose from a variety of formats and more than 16 million color options.
