A worthy competitor of ancestry.co.uk

Family Tree Maker 2010

 

The first program I used, was Family Tree Maker and there is a new 2010 version released. I have to say I tired of the continual updates (requiring more £) but it still has a faithfull following. Price of the new edition is UK £39.99 . USD on sale for limited time $29.99.
 
   

 

One Great Family Tree

 

 

This allows the subscriber to upload their family tree in gedcom and then OneGreatFamily checks against all other subscriber entries for matches, notifying by email. The hope is to achieve more connections etc.

12 months for only $5.00/Month(billed $59.95 annually)
