Meet Family Tree Maker
It's been 35 years since Family Tree Maker was born, and each new edition takes this grand old brand to new places its original creators could only have dreamed of. Where your relatives can fact-check your tree on their phones and tablets halfway across the world. And send you comments and corrections on sticky notes that land instantly, right before your very eyes, on your FTM tree. Where the interface grows in just the right places to go easy on your eyes. Where your Mom's wedding album becomes a narrated interactive documentary filled with her candid thoughts about each and every guest. All this and more in the new world of Family Tree Maker. We think you're going to like it here.

Family Tree Maker's New Tools for Collaborative Family History Saturday, August 9 • 9:00 AM • Snr Citizens Room
Join us for a look at the latest innovations in FTM 2024 that are transforming how we explore, share, and preserve family history. We'll highlight both popular and lesser-known features of Family Tree Maker, plus introduce the all-new Connect workspace and Relative Hint™ feature that make it easier than ever to share your tree and collaborate with your family. You'll also get a first look at AlbumWALK® — a "game-changer" that uses patented tap-talk technology to let you record stories directly into photos, creating interactive mini-documentaries. Discover how these tools work together to engage your family, verify facts, and bring your ancestral story to life like never before.
