Great Software 
2004-06-25
This is a awesome software that helps you with your family history. The collector's edition has so much more information than the standard edition. I am extremlly impressed by this software. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to know more about their family tree.

Why Not to Buy 
2004-06-03
I bought this product to find out information about my family, but this isn't what it says it is. This product is for people that already know about their family not people trying to find out about their family. You get a lot of disk but any information on those you have to go to Geneology.com to get the information and then the free subscribtion that you get to Geneology.com you only have access to a few things but not what you need from the disk, that is extra if you want to use it. I haven't been able to find anything about my family or my husbands family from either of these programs. So if you are trying to find information about your family I would try a different program because this one doesn't help.

My parents loved it! They have been messing around with it constantly since we gave it as a gift...I think we will all enjoy having this family history in the years to come!
No Support for Version 11 2008-01-09
I have used older versions of Family Tree Maker for years and liked it. I decided that with a newer version I would take advantage of the on-line features offered. I ran into trouble when I tried to register the product. I finally called the telephone number provided for support and found that the company that bought Broderbund does not provide support for this version, only the new versions. They did not want to talk to me once they found I was using a brand new copy of Version 11. Because I could not even register the product, I cannot use any of the on-line features. It works just fine for building a family tree, but I thought I paid for more than that.
Great product; prompt service 2004-10-03
Very pleased with the Family Tree Maker Collectors Edition. By following the instructions, all of the input I had on a previous edition was automotatically transfered. Item was shipped promptly and received within just a few days of shipment.
Family Tree Maker 2004-08-26
This software ROCKS. I spent 20 years trying to find any evidence of my Gr-grGrandfather. I bought this software to help me maintain my files and I was able to find my lost ancestor with a Search. I now have charted close to 85% of my Family since the arrival of the Original Emmigrant from France. I highly recommend this software to anyone.
Easy to use software.... 2004-07-12
I have used Family Tree Maker software for 10 years or so now. It is a very intuitive piece of software that has evolved over the years. Even if you are brand new to genealogy, you can get started with this product. Don't count on the CDs to be your gold mine to your family history. If you are looking for your history, start asking questions of your family now. Start researching on www.rootsweb.com now. Be patient...developing a tree can take a while unless its already documented somewhere.
Do you really need the expensive collection package? probably not....but you can start recording little bits of info even with the basic package of FTM.
