What’s New in FTM 2019? Plenty!

It's been thirty years since Family Tree Maker was born and it's only fitting that we introduced a new edition that takes this grand old brand to places its original creators could only have dreamed of. Where every change you make to your tree on your Mac or PC can be instantly and automatically viewed from any smartphone or tablet. Where you can turn back time to erase mistakes you made even a thousand changes ago. Where you can arrange for your tree to be passed on to a relative of your choice along with your Family Tree Maker license to ensure your legacy lives on. That's just a small part of the new world of Family Tree Maker.

Hints in the Index

hints_picture
Lots of news here starting with the ability to download an entire branch from a FamilySearch tree into FTM 2019. But the really big news is that upgrading to FTM 2019 gets users hints linked to more than SIX BILLION online FamilySearch historical records. A unique new source of records for Family Tree Maker users — for free. Sweet.

Profile Picture Perfection

profile_perfection
Clean up the look of your tree with our new profile picture-cropping tool. Smart technology detects the person's face and zooms in just the right amount, then crops a perfect square so that it fits perfectly on each leaf of your tree. And best of all, the original photo is not touched.

Turn Back Time®

hourglass
This one might just be worth the whole upgrade. FTM 2019 keeps track of every one of your last THOUSAND changes. Made a mistake three days ago but your last full backup is three weeks old? Simply roll back to just before the mistake was made with a single click. Then use the comprehensive Changes Log to restore the moves you meant to make. Problem solved.

TreeVault® Cloud Services

TreeVault Cloud Service
With TreeVault, Family Tree Maker is no longer an isolated desktop application, but rather the hub of a growing ecosystem of mobile apps and cloud services.
