Family Tree Maker has a reputation for being the #1 genealogy
software since 1989, and there is no doubt that it is well known worldwide. The
Family Tree Maker 2010 provides users the tools they need to build their
family tree, record their memories and organise their family photos, stories,
videos and audio clips in a way that will help them easily capture and share the
story of their ancestors.
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searches Ancestry.com.au for historical documents about the individuals in the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.
