Family Tree Maker is genealogy software for Windows and Mac that allows the researcher to keep track of information collected during research and to create reports, charts, and books containing that information.[5] The software was originally developed by Kenneth Hess of Banner Blue Software,[1] which was purchased by Brøderbund in 1995.[6] It passed through the hands of The Learning Company, Mattel, and others before coming under its current ownership.

A redesigned Family Tree Maker 2008 was released on August 14, 2007.[7] The 2009 version of the program corrected some of the errors and omissions of its predecessor, and introduced a few new features.[citation needed] Family Tree Maker 2010 claimed to further enhance the radical re-design and be more powerful and feature-packed with faster navigation and quicker load times.[8]

A version for the Mac was released in 1997, but due to low market demand was discontinued[9] for over a decade. A new version of Family Tree Maker for Mac was released on November 4, 2010.[10]

Family Tree Maker Version 16 was awarded a Codie award in the 'Best Consumer Productivity Solution' category in 2006.[11]

On December 8, 2015, Ancestry.com announced that it would discontinue Family Tree Maker. The announcement was met by fierce protest from Family Tree Maker users.[12] On February 2, 2016, Ancestry.com announced that Software MacKiev, the company that had developed the Mac version of the software for more than six years, would acquire the Family Tree Maker brand, and take over the development and publishing of Mac and Windows editions.[13]

At the same time as this announcement, Software MacKiev promised free updates for owners of the then-current versions. While the MacKiev dot-one versions were put on sale within 2 months, they were not officially released as free updates to the current versions until 30 Dec 2016. At that time, connectivity with Ancestry was also extended until its replacement could be rolled out. Ancestry connectivity, including TreeSync, the ability to synchronize a Family Tree Maker tree with one at Ancestry, was turned off on 29 Mar 2017, with its replacement, called FamilySync, to be turned on 31 Mar. The news about FamilySync contained a bit of a surprise: it would only be available in Family Tree Maker 2017, the next iteration of Family Tree Maker, which was to be released coincident with the deployment of FamilySync. Users of Family Tree Maker 2 & 3 for Mac and 2012 & 2014 for Windows would no longer have any connectivity to Ancestry. If they wanted such connectivity, they would have to pay to upgrade to Family Tree Maker 2017, which was officially released on 16 July 2017, 107 days later than planned.[14]

The core functionality and user interface of Family Tree Maker 2017 have changed little since 2010. Software MacKiev touted four major improvements: 1. FamilySearch integration 2. FamilySync 3. Color Coding 4. Photo Darkroom. FamilySearch integration provides potential matches to the FamilySearch.org Family Tree, but not to their vast record collections. FamilySync is a replacement for Ancestry.com's TreeSync feature; it provides potential matches to family trees, indexes, and records at Ancestry.com. It was necessitated by Ancestry.com retiring their TreeSync Application Program Interface (API). While the old API was used exclusively by Ancestry.com, since they also owned Family Tree Maker, the new API is open to other software developers to use. Color Coding is a new feature that enables users to assign up to four different colors to a person and their ancestors. Photo Darkroom is a new feature that can darken faded black & white photos.[15]

Family Tree Maker 16 Windows 10

Family Tree Maker - Up To Version 16 Review by David Pentland, Aug 24, 2016

I have been using FTM since its early days (Broderbund) and upgraded every few years until reaching FTM 2006. After the major rewrite in 2007 I waited a while and then purchased FTM 2010, if for no other reason than to ensure I had all of my existing FTM data (you can export/import) in a modern supported format and product.

Although the newer FTM versions handle data/media storage much better, and have nice dynamic links to Ancestry.com, I find the post-2007 FTM interface much less intuitive and easy to use, so for the majority of my work I stick with FTM 2006. It does everything I need in a simple but still feature rich way.

It has a good, if a little clunky, ‘Books’ function which I use to create paginated, chapter’ed, indexed family books and trees for publishing to PDF / printing. It has some great tree charts such as ‘All-In’One’, ‘Direct Decedent’, and ‘Hourglass’, some with nice ‘Fan’ style options. I also like the ‘Relationship Calculator’ which states my relationship to others in my tree, although I do miss a way of charting that visibly, which FTM 2010 can do.

Yes, it has it’s downsides, such as not being able to copy / link the same source information to multiple facts at once and that any media you add (e.g. pictures) are separately imported and stored within the FTM file itself rather than simply being linked to the source file on disk. This can make FTM files quite large, especially if you add the same media to more than one person or book, and makes media change management tricky.

FTM 2006 runs fine for me on Windows 10 with a couple of tweaks… I set FTM.EXE Properties, Compatibility Mode to “Windows XP” and checked “Disable display scaling”. Yes, clicking ‘Preview Book’ crashes the whole program - a way around this is to stop using ‘Preview Book’ button (takes some getting used to) and instead, set up a PDF printer on your computer and use ‘File, Print Book…’ - you can then preview the resulting PDF file.

Family Tree Maker 2010 Compatibility

Biggest Pro: Clean, straight forward interface making data entry and review a breeze.
Biggest Con: Old style data storage means all added media is included / replicated within each FTM file.
