What is the best online family tree maker? I want to make a family tree on my computer. Microsoft Office did not work too well for me and I would like to know a better alternative. I would like to know the best free family tree maker online or downloadable. I want to make a vertical family tree.
how do I turn my family tree saved files from family tree maker to a gedcom file? My family tree maker has asked me after every 100 people I add to my family tree if I want to share my tree online. I want to add a family tree to rootsweb but I don't know how to make a GEDCOM file to upload it. Along the same lines I want to be able to import the information in the GEDCOM files I have downloaded already to add to my family tree instead of copying and pasting all the information one line at a time from different sites. Can I do this with Family Tree Maker 2006, if so how? After taking a chance and trying something last night, hoping not to lose my whole family tree in the process. I was able to open downloaded GEDCOM files in family tree maker, but it still can't figure out how to add it to what I already have instead of having to do it one by one.
What other "tree makers" are available other than Family Tree Maker? I am looking for "tree maker" type software under $75 that would be similar to Family Tree Maker. I have that product. I am seeking to compare products. Please give me a summary of pros and cons. This will give me additional resources to expand my ability to serve more folks in connecting up to their family roots and history. It would also make a way for me to be available to assist other family history genealogists and researchers. Many thanks and God bless you and yours...

Has anyone checked out Family Tree Maker 2009? I'm a report hound, and FTM 2008 was considered a step backward, for which they were soundly criticized. I've tried many programs, but have been hanging around with FTM 16 because of report functions. Someday I will have to go to Vista, of course. If you are familiar with 2009, how about a quick review? Thanks.

A Family Tree Maker which plots your ENTIRE FAMILY and ALL RELATIVES in the ONE TREE? I'm conducting genealogical research. I've got a fair bit of data stored in GEDCOM files. I want a program, or website, that will plot absolutely everybody in the one one tree. Brothers, sisters, cousins, distant cousins, uncles, people only related by marriage, etc. I basically want to create a massive tree with all my available information. (even if it's text based, that's ok too) Most programs, like Family Tree Maker 2008, only allow you to show your ascendants (ie, not showing my cousins), or the descendants from a particular person (ie, not showing that person's siblings - if the parents are unknown). Please help. Thank you
