I have used Family Tree Maker since 1999 and have liked it. I now have the 2010 version and still like it but have plenty of questions. I have tried their forum but don't get the results that I like.
One of my questions has to deal with facts. Years ago one could put in all types of facts, now I seem to be stuck with just the primary - birth, death, marriage, and etc.
Help?
Anyone here use Family Tree Maker???

I have an old version of the program but I never could get the hang of it either! I am computer challenged though.
You might want to see if you have a local genealogical computing club in your area. We have a very active one here with alot of puter geeks in it. They love to help out.

I have used the FTM for as long as I have had my information on my computer.
I have always been able to put notes on mine. If you go to edit and then it will have different options and click on the 'NOTES'. You can put anything in there.
Hope this has helped.
