Review by Geek Girl

I wasn’t aware when picking this up that there was any kind of subscription involved. Aside from that, Family Tree Maker was very easy to jump into and get going with. I had become interested in continuing a family tree that my grandmother had started years ago. She spent a lot of time and effort compiling our family history all the way back to Europe, and in recent years she had complications that prevented her from keeping up with it. Many of the grandchildren and great grandchildren were not listed and I wanted to fill it out to be complete to the current day. It was exceedingly simple to just pick up and go with it and the interface was very intuitive. Ancestry.com also makes it easier to share with the rest of the family. Gone are the days of mailing huge books of information to every family! I just wish Ancestry.com was free for the family to use. If you want to really utilize the website, you have to pay. Overall though it’s currently the best option out there for Macs at the moment.
