Family Tree Explorer 9 - Genealogy software - compatible with the international GEDCOM format - compatible with Win 10, 8.1, 7

it was fine

This may be a good piece of software, but you wont get a recommendation from me. There are absolutely no instructions to get started and what there is, is confusing. I am returning this to Amazon.

could not use would not work completely disappointed

Is way more comprehensive and detailed than what I wanted or need.

It’s a little hard for me to use, I have trouble finding where things are at. Not saying the program is not good, just not for me, I couldn’t get my Ancestry program to load on the program I got on my computer.

I had a Family Tree Explorer 9 on my old computer. I did not have the disk to put on my new computer. I saved the files, but It did not transfer. disappointed. I spent months on the information and now I cant access it.

Some of the instructions were written in German & I did not know at the end of the installation process that internet was needed to receive some code to start using the program & this was not mention by the seller

The seller states it can hold unlimited amount of people and it could hold 17 generations, but what they are NOT telling you is you can only VIEW your direct ancestors, only your grandparents. You can NOT see siblings, their spouses, their children, cousins, aunts, uncles etc. The only way to see them is to UPGRADE to Premium or buy Family Tree 10 Premium. This is false advertising as to what this product can do. Dont waste your money.

On page 18 we find out that the data has to be entered in a specific way, rather than just enter data for persons if the data is entered befoe the family is set up it cannot be manipulated to set up a family tree because the sosa number cannot be overwritten, also do not seem able to remove the data and start again

I would want the ability to save over pictures to it. However that cant be done.
