Hi Has anyone had a look at Family Tree Maker 2008, if you google for it it comes up with Ancestry.Com and you can download a beta version to try before you buy. Takes about 20 - 30 minutes to download on broadband, so might be a bit longer on slower machines. I have had a quick look but it looks very different to the earlier versions, and a lot more impressive. Take a look Marilyn |

Hi, I spotted this on the US site the other day but when I looked on the UK site it wasn't mentioned so I assumed it wasn't available here yet. Having said that I think the only difference would be that the US one would default to US sites for searching etc. |

The trial version does not appear to have all the features enabled. It is however a completely new program and bears little resemblance to the earlier versions. |

If you google Family Tree Maker 2008 it gives a couple of places to download it, Family Tree Maker Site and Ancestry*com, on both sites it just says try before you buy by downloading a beta version. From what I have tried of it so far, Peter is right, not all of the features are enabled, and it is quite a lot different than the earlier versions, but at least it gives you an idea, off to have another play with it now before I go back to work.
