Family Tree Maker Key Features:

It would be interesting to know that the FTM app’s main UI is divided into tabs. Then the ‘Pedigree View’ is the traditional tree which returns from left to right. This feature works well to explore the tree, add new family members, and obtain a fast overview. The ‘Family View’ is another feature that focuses on a single person and displays their parents, spouse and kids.

So you can just move between these people and also edit them from this screen using the ‘Arrow’ keys. The ‘Name List’ is a straightforward table containing names, genders, birth dates, and other information come after. When you select the column headers, you get to add, remove and sort the fields in the given list. Whereas ‘Individuals’ provides details on a single person, the ‘Descendants’ tab lets you select an individual and also view their direct lineage to the present day.

The software just excels at whatever it does and these days it’s simply hard to find a tool that is solely focused on one task only without having to add unnecessary features, although the ‘Tooltips’ for the toolbar are crucial there are also a few awkward aspects of the interface such as the requirement for adding siblings as children of parents instead of brothers or sisters. Now who could have guessed this?
