Release was finally 16th July with physical shipping of DVD/USB copies starting in August. AvailabilityįTM 2017 release was postponed from 31st March 2017 for various issues and final beta testing of FamilySync *. See our separate FTM 2017 page for what changes with this version, new features and quirks. I started with FTM 2009 on a Windows XP computer, the current version is FTM 2017 on Windows 7. With FTM 2017 the Apple Mac edition gets features in line with Windows (they differed slightly before). Prior to then, the material was based on FTM versions up to 2014.1. Note July 2017: This page will be gradually updated to reflect experience of FTM 2017 and differences to 2014 and earlier versions. This was flagged in bullet point 4 of the MacKiev FTM 2017 announcement, although the complete lack of connection, web search and place map etc. The Ancestry search, record merge, and hints functions stop working, and no internet connection is available, for versions before FTM 2017 – SMK details here. Īll Ancestry connectivity in versions earlier than 2017 has now ceased with the release of FTM 2017. Most, but not all, of the following has been updated to reflect the move of support material between websites.
Family tree maker for mac 2016 software#
In 2016, Ancestry transferred ownership of the Windows version of FTM to Software MacKiev (SMK), which already developed and sold the Mac version. Family Tree Maker is a software program which became associated with the genealogy website Ancestry.
