Review by Southern Mississippi

I’ve used Family Tree Maker before, and it was interesting,easy, and entertaining to explore my family tree. Like a lot of other users,I found this version to be less-than-wonderful. there was no reason to update, and I preferred the older version. Sometimes,software developers feel a need to re-invent the wheel, and that seems to be the case here.

i’m not sure why there is a new version other than to possibly address the release of Windows 8 (I stuck with 7 there too.)nnIf you are running an older version (if its not TOO old) there is no reason to update. If you have never used it before and end up buying this, you won’t know that it is clunky and slow to load.
