Family Tree Maker 2010
 Family Tree Maker has been the stalwart software for
genealogy since the late 1990's. The recent advancements in it's design and
functionality have focused on a tighter integration with Ancestry's website,
making the importation of data more seamless. If you're looking for a home based
software program, then we highly suggest this program.

Top 5 New FTM 2010 Features
-
Replacing Source
Information
I believe this is alone may make the purchase of FTM
10 worthwhile for many genealogists. With the latest
version you now have the ability to replace source
information with an existing source... I have in my
data a lot of different source citations for what
appears to be the same source... I've never found a
program which would enable you to replace sources,
without also losing the links and media that source
referenced. FTM 10 resolves that issue.
-
Kinship Report
Improvements
Most genealogy programs now enable you to find out
how two individuals are related... however, they
often choose to only show that relationship in one
way. So if you have 2nd cousins in your tree which
then marry, the kinship reports only show the
marriage... not the fact they were also 2nd cousins.
The improved kinship report in FTM 2010 will now
show BOTH relationships!
-
Spell Check Globally
FamilyTreeMaker 2010 now has updated it's spell
checking function to allow spell checking within
most fields, including notes. If you type like I do,
then this should help improve the quality of data
output your family tree has.
-
Relationship Calculator Improved
Like the Kinship report above, the relationship
calculator in Family Tree Maker now allows you to
see multiple relationships. This can get quite
interesting! I found that I am not only my own 8th
cousin, but also my own 11th cousin three times!!!
-
Migration Maps
In the past, using various mapping programs you
could show your ancestors migratory patterns. FTM
has incorporated that feature into Family Tree Maker
2010 by enabling you to show the migratory pattern
of 1 ancestor, a family, or a group of ancestors. If
you have an ancestry tree that liked to move about,
then you will find this tool invaluable.
