    Family Tree Maker 2012

    There is one thing i strongly suggest if you have any problem with FTM, Google it, there are some real experts out there when it comes to doing anything on FTM, they seem to be able to make it do things you didn't think possible, they have in the past saved me hours of work and frustration. bren

    I have been using FTM for years now, still using my 2005 version even though i have the 2010 Platinum version, just never got around to installing it.
