Additionally, this new software provides unique ways to view your family history. Users can now track the migration paths of a person and their family through time, by mapping event locations with Microsoft Bing Maps. They can also view relationships between any two people in their family tree by using the improved relationship calculator and create family books made from information and photos from their tree.

Users can also utilize the robust collection of family history records on Ancestry.com.au and powerful search features -- without leaving Family Tree Maker. When connected to the Internet, Family Tree Maker 2010 automatically searches Ancestry.com.au for historical documents about the individuals in the user's family tree. With a few mouse clicks, users with an Ancestry.com.au subscription can view and import these historical records into their family tree.
