If you’re familiar with a previous version of Family Tree Maker — the #1 genealogy software
since 1989 — you’ll notice that the program has a fresh new look and feel. We’ve made it
easier than ever to enter, view and edit your data.

We’ve also added dozens of other new features, including:
* A new People interface that combines elements of a pedigree chart and a family group sheet
* Vastly improved integration with Ancestry.com
* A web clipper that lets you merge data from anywhere on the web into your tree
* Interactive maps and lists that show all the people in your tree associated with a particular
place
* A place authority with more than 3 million place names that helps you correctly enter localities
* Standardized criteria for rating your sources
* Features that make it easy to manage photos and other media files and incorporate them into
charts and reports
* Timelines that highlight personal, family and world events that occurred during your
ancestors’ lives
* A robust tool for sorting and managing your to-do list
* The ability to import data from other genealogy programs, including Personal Ancestral File,
The Master Genealogist and Legacy Family Tree

Family Tree Maker 2008 integrates seamlessly with Ancestry.com, allowing you to quickly
merge new facts and records into your family tree.
Ancestry even does automatic searches for the people in your Family Tree Maker files and
suggests records that may contain relevant information.
