 Works fine with XP, not with Vista October 16, 2008
A good deal because of free subscription to Ancestry.com, but this 2005 version doesn't work with Vista, and I tried downloading their patch for Vista and that doesn't work either. Well worth it for the free subscription, though.
Family Tree Maker... a great tool! October 9, 2007

We purchased Family Tree Maker 2005 to begin recordng our family history. The tools included and bonus extras have helped us to research our roots far beyond our expectations within the first few weeks. Using the internet we have been able to document a good deal of the records of our immediate ancestors and gather some clues to even much earlier family ties, even from earlier centuries and across the waves. Quite a bargain.
Excellent software for researching your family March 21, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This software is easy to use and provides enough space to record tens of thousands of your ancestors and other relatives. I would strongly recommend it for anyone interested in genealogy. It is good for both one just starting out, and also for the most advanced researcher. I have used Family Tree Maker software for nine years and have upgraded it frequently as they have made additions and improvements. The 2005 software continues those improvements. However, since 2006 is now available, one might consider buying that instead. One word of caution--this software, like any genealogy software, won't do the work for you. You must do the research in finding your ancestors, but this package does provide many useful aids.

Good basic program. Could be a little easier to use. Upates from online when available.

I wanted to start some genealogy research of my ancestors. I looked up ancestry.com and thought it was too expensive for what it had. I saw this software program and as it sounded like it had exactly what ancestry.com purported to have, I saw a chance to save quite a lot of money so I bought it.
I get it home, download it, and start filling in blanks for relatives names. After I had filled in 100+ names (the first step), only then did I discover I'd have to subscribe to all those Ancestry.com databases in the first place. Otherwise, those names would just sit there; no blanks would be filled in even though Amazon said it would "automatically search Ancestry.com to find your ancestors." In this software package, the need for Ancestry.com after all is just hidden until you get way into it.
This program also loves to throw in little "ticklers" supposedly to pique your interest, but when you click on them, it leads you to a form to subscribe to Ancestry.com. I don't appreciate that either.
