Family Tree Maker
Family Tree Maker is the #1 selling software product for building, customizing, searching and sharing your family history.

Build your family tree
Getting started is easy. Simply enter what you already know starting with yourself, and then watch your tree take form. If you need more help, a Getting Started Tutorial will walk you through this process step-by-step.

Use Family Tree Maker to record and organize all of the information you collect on your family – create tree charts, reports, calendars, scrapbooks, heirloom-quality books and more!

Search for ancestors
Family Tree Maker will automatically search the largest online collection of family history information - Ancestry.com - for your ancestors based on the information in your tree. The Web Search report will allow you to compare the search results side-by-side with the information in your tree, so you can quickly determine whether the information is relevant to you. The new Web Merge feature lets you import the information directly into your Family Tree Maker file – instantly.

Design and personalize
Bring your family story to life by customizing a wide variety of charts and reports with images, photos, colors, fonts, borders and box styles. Add your own personal touch and style!

Share with family and friends
Give your relatives a beautiful family book filled with stories, charts, photographs, maps, timelines and much more – it’s easy to create in Family Tree Maker. Or you can share your work digitally – on CD-ROM or through a free Internet homepage.

Submitting your family tree to MyFamily.com’s collection of user-submitted trees lets you share your discoveries with the entire genealogy community. It’s a great way to connect with other researchers who may be part of the same family line.
