I find it easy to edit names, find errors and duplicates, sort out people, add interesting custom facts, organize my tree so I gather all information on a person then the family...fill in holes. I work with bot my online tree and my desktop tree and I sync in regularly. It's a life saver in my opinion.

Re: Windows 8 and FTM 2009
Windows 8 loads all the same programs from XP and up. You may have to go to your compatibility settings and change to XP or whatever.
I recommend FTM 2012 with tree sync. Best software ever. It has had some issues (mine has worked great) but in the long run it has helped clean up my tree and further my research quicker and better than anything I have ever had.

Re: Educational DVD's badly needed
i think all you to do it enter a person name and birth, death, gender..etc and Add a spouse and add children? It's not that hard to figure out, it's pretty simple and all you do it click sync and it puts it online so you can search for records online and sync it all back to your desktop.
on FTM you can clikc customize and organzie who was in the american revolution, civil war, wwI and II. etc
it's pretty awesome!

Problems with web search in FTM
I've had problems for about a week. In FTM using the ancestry web search shows no results whatever I click. I know there should be as I have had them before.
Had the problem a few months ago which eventually resolved but so annoying.
I'm having to log into ancestry via its website which is very time consuming.
I can see others are having the same problem. What is being done to resolve this

Re: Educational DVD's badly needed
i know but I work at a retirement community and I give lots of computer lessons all the time. Most of the time "older folks" are scared they are going to break the computer or click on something wrong.
2012 has LOTS of neat things you can do that make genealogy so much easier and faster than I think lots of you guys are doing.
I think there's a step by step manuel if you go the "HELP" and on youtube they have so many neat and nicew videos that tell you neat things that you can do Step by step.
JUST HAVE FUN!!! and you will get the hang of it! :)

Re: FTM desktop software v. Ancestry.com
I use both FTM 2012 and ancestry.com subscription. I like to connect with people online and I organize my data, get rid of duplicates, organize sources and places and pictures with my desktop software. I find both wonderful in different ways. The software is by far the best thing I have come across even if it sometimes has issues.

Re: Transferring Files from Ultimate Family Tree (1995) --> Family Tree Maker (2011)
1.) It might be a big task but I would go to where all your pictures are stored and drag then onto your dektop.
2.) Then I would upload the GEDCOM onto ancestry.com.
3.) Then upload the photos onto ancestry.com
4.) then sync it onto Family tree maker 2012 and make sure you back it all up.
