Family Tree Maker 2017Last weekend saw the announcement that many have been waiting for “FAMILY TREE MAKER 2017 IS RELEASED”. While there have been delays (doesn’t all software?), and some wondered if it would ever eventuate … Family Tree Maker 2017 finally sees the light of day.

It has been about a year and a half in the making, but MacKiev (the makers of FTM) together with Ancestry have worked hard to get the program (and syncing) working well, and they weren’t willing to have anything released and rushed out as a half-baked product.

Previously available in both Mac and PC version, both editions now come on the same DVD or USB, so you simply install the one you need.

BUY FAMILY TREE MAKER 2017
Family Tree Maker is currently available as a download only from MacKiev, with the DVD and USB versions due to be shipped early/mid August. And for those in Australia you can buy FTM 2017 from VicGUM.
