My daughter and I have been using Ancestry.com for awhile now. When the opportunity arose to try Family Tree Maker for Mac and have a free 3-month subscription as stated we were tickled pink. We had tons of printed data we have been entering into Ancestry.com that she has been receiving from family members.

We installed the program on a iMac and after the program installed we actually had a bit of a problem locating it. Finally we found it by going to the Macintosh HD icon on the desktop. We followed the directions to sign up for our 3-month free subscription but that did not exist. I had to enter a credit card number and got a 6-moth free trial and after the 6 months if I do not cancel it with in the trial subscription I will be charged $99 for another 6 months of service. So I guess I got a better deal but I made sure to give myself a reminder in case I don’t want it to renew itself after the 6-month trial is over.

All I can say about the program it it is worthless. It constantly signs us out and I don’t understand why. We enjoyed using the services on Ancestry.com more after signing up for the free trial subscription through the program. My daughter and I spent hours going viewing documents, pictures and hints of possible family members then trying to figure out why the program would not import our information.

Overall all I can say is the program is not very user-friendly and the menu interface confusing to say the least.

However, we did order our DNA kits for the special price offered after signing up for the trial subscription - so that was a bonus!
